That ticket doesn't have a difference of opinion: it has a core developer
of iD offering to buy a cake for whoever contributes a fix. Nobody has
contributed a fix: one would be accepted if it was contributed. Plus, we'd
give that person a cake.

That isn't a difference of opinion: there's no opposition. There's
encouragement and an offer of reward for help. There's limited time "the
core developers" have to work on iD, and they accept snark and hatred when
they do.

So no, that isn't a difference of opinion. It's a place where we need help
and aren't getting it. Threads like this don't help.
