No. This project is run by volunteers. You don't pay me. I would be
surprised to hear that you pay e.g. Konrad to work on LFS. We have no
obligation to other than we personally see as necessary. I certainly
don't see why I should have to called names for what I do or don't do.

The message was not about any of the suggested changes. Some might make
sense, others don't. It is entirely about making unjustified claims
about the "current" developers on LFS. Konrad didn't start LFS, but he
did a lot to make LFS usable. Claiming that it will never be stable is
used uncalled for as it was his work that brought it to the point where
it is actually usable enough to complain about.
