The correct response to these complaints would be if Eli and the
maintainers would reign in Stefan and address the genuine concerns
rather than gerrymandering on with the present course.

This again purposely misses the point and does not address the isssue
raised by the resignation. That there are problems with Stefans
intentions which are not as stated which are of concern to emacs
development as a whole, these are being swept under the floor. There are
repeated concerns that the way Stefan is leading development us
destroying the value of core which RMS brought to us from the 70s. This
is being set aside through bulldozering narrative.
