Agreed; the issue is real but hardly urgent.  And my experience with
heated topics suggests they rarely stay cool in mailing lists.

I realize that timezones are difficult, but I'd really like to suggest we
try a mumble meeting for every developer who is interested in this?  I can
probably set up a server.

Exactly!

Generalize the words "just because you dislike the platform" to "for any
reason" and you've summed up the problem with these devices very well :(
