No, I'm saying there's a lot of people who won't even know this happened. Fewer will know that it happened, but they'll view it as a scenario where the ends justify the means.

I'm on the record saying RC did a poor job rolling out these changes and treated the maintainers poorly.

There will be a lot of amazing Rubyists that leave, which is terrible, but it won't be "the shadow of a community left" because there's way too many people who depend on it to feed their families.

In the world of "I'm sorry to that man" this seems like a given about literally everything.

Not knowing something happened is called being uninformed, and it doesn't change things or make the person right just because they don't know about something that occurred.

We agree. Listen, WebObjects still has a somewhat active community. Ruby's community won't be helped by recent events, but recent events happened because the Ruby community has been backstabby for a long time and no one has stopped it because there's too much money to be made in the meantime to care about things like people.
