I just went through the thread and I classified 93% of the comments as snarky, editorial, and abrasive to the maintainers. The others are just memes.

Presumptuous is a word that comes to mind.

The majority of the commenters there have never contributed anything to the project (or any other project for that matter).

But, they're responding to the behavior and the intentions as much as the decision itself. That's my point. It's disingenuous and pretentious to insult the lot for simply reacting to the decision to remove a tool because that's not what they're reacting to, not entirely.

Fair, but a totally separate point.
