The way I read the mails up until now, I couldn't see anyone suggesting to remove current infrastructure or resources. Even if that was the proposition, I think it should be possible to point out shortcomings in a politer way. I just tried to put myself into the shoes of a Launchpad developer, think how I put a lot of time into very boring, tedious and very generic work to make Launchpad understand distros, derivatives, differences between source packages, then reached a milestone and want to give developers an update about what has been done and how it might be useful to them, then I get a reply like the one above. If I was on the LP team, I would find it disheartening and I would think twice before I ever post something to the list again. To sum it up: I think it's important to discuss, find problems and solutions, but it should be in an encouraging and not in a demotivating way.
