Hi Michael :) your note is fair, but anyway I guess you misunderstood him. OTOH don't speak for all FLOSS coders. Some do like to get feedback, also negative feedback, that's why there are a lot of very good WMs/ DEs for Linux. It's absolutely okay that every argument to change something is appeased. E17 is from you coders for you coders, but not for users with special needs. I've got e17 from svn installed because I liked it some years ago, when it was too unstable. Today I'm missing to much, so I'll watch the development, but I don't use it or would recommend to use it, especially because you coders don't like tips from users. Don't get me wrong, I accepted it, anyway I guess it's not clever to ignore users for your own progress ;). Just my 2 cents, no stuff for a flame ;).
