I can see how it is interpreted as whining. It's unaddressed grief that lingered, so it's impossible to fix now. There are things to be learned though, so it's still good to look at it if you're looking to improve.

Look not only at superficial statistics, but also open some of his reviews and pull requests. You will see pattern: first small documentation fix, chasing typo fix, then Concept ACK with little “nit” suggestions for improvement.

I appreciate Atack's recent statements. He seems yo be a person who

I'm less convinced that Hodlonaut has the grounds to evaluate some of this drama.

My point isn't that no one should talk about it, but rather that I will evaluate the opinions of people who speak about Core drama with the lens of how seriously they have contributes to the project.
