There's nothing negative to say.
For months and months Canonical reps have repeatedly stated their intention to keep the most important components closed. That rankled. Then at the last minute they make a surprise announcement that all the components would be openned. It seems in the end, I got exactly what I wanted. Why would I say anything negative about getting what I want?
Sure I have questions about why they needed to play it so close to the chest with regard to Soyuz and Codehosting for so long but the answers to those questions aren't important enough to browbeat them over the head about.

According to my english dictionnary the translation in english is "paralipsis" : Paralipsis is a rhetorical technique in which you emphasize a topic by saying in some way that you will not talk about it.

Oh I definitely want to talk about it. And I will..at every opportunity...don't doubt it. But if people choose not to answer this question I shan't be insistent that they do so.

I'm interested to see what you actually do with the Launchpad source code now that it's freely available to you, or if you were just making noise. Why would I say anything negative about getting what I want?What you wanted was no more and no less than what had been promised, long before you decided that you wanted it. Still, you had so many negative things to say during the year between the announcement of the date and the source code release (on schedule). You should not be surprised that we expect you to continue in this fashion despite the promise having been fulfilled.
