What trips me up is the commit and the following comments doesn't say nothing, they said a lot of things that just messes with people.
I would think the community would be a lot less upset and a lot less confused if the message is simply "we can't comment on this because lawyers"

It depends a ton on the situation (IE gag orders are common, etc)
