We can discuss forever the meaning of "they are", but I stand for what
I actually said.

That is unrelated to what you wrote, unless your definition of popular
is "available as a core X font".

I'd say that the attitude of using "brain-dead", "bug", "stupid" etc
to people's decissions (and, yes, sometimes mistakes) is one reason
why emacs-devel is often unpleasant. That, and the habit of pushing to
change back defaults people don't like, instead of just customizing
them in their .emacs and be done with it.

That's one way to see it. Another is to think that the feature has not
changed behavior, but a recent bug is triggering an unindented
misbehavior.

I fail to see why your statement is "clearly [...] _a personal
opinion_", and my comment, which explicitly said "but I find it
a bit insulting [...]", is not.

Nice strawman, but I wasn't objecting to your disliking of the
feature, or your criticism, just to the election of the word "bug" to
denote an intended feature.
