That's to be expected, yes :/
Now, moderation is the last step, there is education, creating a culture
of respect, etc. But that's a whole discussion on its own, not sure it
is the right place or moment, so I will not dwell on it.

Nothing, that was just the idea of having a private QA list that I
criticized, not the current state which is fine IMHO. While trying to
isolate ourself from noise is a human reaction, so that's
understandable. And unfortunately, QA is one very important part of any
distribution but a quite often overlooked one.
