There's a couple of points I wanted to respond to.

For those of you saying Jeff shouldn't give a one-sided opinion of this or just flat out say what he feels, you guys are in the wrong. This is his blog, and he can write whatever he pleases. As far as I know, Jeff has never said that he's an unbiased reporter of events.

Speaking out against the core team's decisions doesn't make you an outcast or anything like that in the community. I openly speak out against some decisions when I feel strongly enough about them and am still friends with some of these guys. Heck, I've had at least four nice, civil chats with members of the core team since I wrote an article bashing the capital P filter.
