Please refer to the right mailinglist with the right attitude. In addition to that I highly recommend sending patches over constant ranting and keeping away people from doing actual work. Communities like PHP are here to WORK together on a problem and the people who work on it (or any surrounding noteable projects) discuss it. If you don't have anything to contribute write a blog entry about it, but internal is not the right place for you rants. I am not sure if I have to get any clearer about that. Thank you.
