... how is submitting your opinion not contributing?

Maybe so, but...

"I don't like the syntax changes." is a useless contribution.

"It's taking too long." is a useless contribution.

"I don't want to rewrite my code." is a useless contribution.

"Parrot is stupid." is a useless contribution.

"Pugs is too slow." is probably a useless contribution.

"Ruby/Python/Java/C#/Scheme/SNOBOL/Smalltalk/Lisp/hq9+ does that already and you are losing marketshare." is a useless contribution.

"Coroutines and continuations are too hard." is a useless contribution.

"I don't understand part of the synopsis here", "Hey, here's a little patch for a TODO item", and "I don't have time or energy or expertise to contribute but I'm looking forward to the results and appreciate all of your hard work" are useful contributions.
