Please try to avoid making statements that can be construed as representing the opinion of "the core developers". Even in case everyone would agree with what you say, not everyone (in this case: I) may feel as strongly about it, or people may be uncomfortable with how you express your opinion or the moment at which you do it.

In general, everyone speaks for themselves on these mailing lists, other than when announcing new releases or other coordinated announcements.
