Well, to a certain extent, I agree... At least no one can say we don't
chase and value feedback. :-)

I think something of what he says is a bit exaggerated, or even
incorrect (test system testing "just python stuff" ? :-O), but that's
his feeling and personal experience, and there's very few we can do
about that.

OTOH, some other points are valid (despite being put in a very direct
form), and not that different from what we got from other maintainers.
For those points, I think it's important to show that we valued the
feedback and that we're down to try to improve the situation... That's
what I tried to do in the introduction (and I can try to make this more
evident there, if you think that's needed).

Ok for all the above... But, should I publish it?
