Mmm, that's not how I read Steve's questions -- I took them as honest questions about from someone who doesn't really follow the project and isn't sure where our priorities lie. We have to keep in mind that at this point a bulk of our users don't keep close track of the development process and priorities. Heck, even I have trouble keeping up some times.
At best I can say it's incredibly poorly phrased if it was trying to raise constructive points. The implication of "if you really cared about security, you'd..." just rubs me the wrong way.
I'm sorry. I'm a programmer and think in terms of `if X elif Y else Z` statements.
I admitted I might be wrong at pretty much any stage, and Jacob's response convinced me that my "rewrite bcrypt in Python" option is probably not reasonable at this point.
How could I have phrased that differently and still asked the same questions?
