+
+Of course I'm proud of certain things I've done, but I'm not stupid
+enough to think that everything I've touched is perfect or that things
+do not need more work. If I thought everything was perfect, I'd stop
+stop working on things as there would be nothing left to do. That
+doesn't meant I cannot praise anything. The two are not mutually
+exclusive as you seem to suggest. I can appreciate good design in a
+product, even if it does have bugs or gaps in it's implementation yet to
+be filled.
+
+I fully appreciate things need to be fixed in certain areas and I
+appreciate the perfectly valid reasons for people wanting to change even
+mature and established packages. Just because something is mature
+doesn't mean it works in the best or most robust way. Just because
+something has been around for while should not make it immune to any
+rethinks.
+
+Sick of the lack of quality is perfectly acceptable, but you know what
+fixes that? People who care about it actually *working* on it.
+Complaining about it doesn't help anyone!
