I object to the use of "shady." It's an open codebase, well, partly, with a standing invitation to anyone who wants to become a dev to join in and dig a ditch.

It doesn't matter if the system's design doesn't sit right with one. If equal rules apply to all, it's egalitarian. If one actually cares, one can get a commit bit and find out just how enjoyable this fork3 of the Everything Engine is to hack. :P I thought I cared once and tried. it Now I'm just grateful others who have the chops care a bit more.

These discussions have always bothered me. They seem to start with acrimony and land at demands for difficult code changes without anyone making the demands stepping up to do the work they insist needs be done.
