When you look back at the 4.86 development you'll see that they must have spent more time talking about it and turning back people who were willing to contribute than actually creating stuff.
There were people willing to write infocards, bar rumors, help systems, polish up systems, who were told to go screw themselves cause they aint friends with the head people in charge.
Now we're stuck with 10 emo-order "I'm sitting in a bar feeling sorry for myself" bar rumors, noobs who still have no idea what an iff is or how to adjust their rep, 500k of nothingness to fly through in the omicrons, more gallia, and a "funny" LN ID that tells people to act oorp and hate each other.
