It isn't. However, the community (a) is a busy one and (b) contains 
plenty of people whose first language is not English. You may have seen 
sarcasm where it was not intended.

I read that as shorthand for "Why do you say that was a mistake?".

You'll need to consult Debian experts for that kind of comment. There is 
a separate mailing list that was set up for Debian users[*], because the 
'stock Debian' configurations are so very different from what is 
distributed with Exim. Non-Debian-ites don't feel they can help Debian 
users.

will post them.
