People work on what they want to work on, and none of us are getting paid to do general mod work. @Alex. is the only programmer I can think of actively involved in the community whose primary interest is in maintaining the security of Discovery and patching whatever bugs arise rather than being invested in his own vision and design goals. @Invoker is great and I'm happy to have him doing things, but what I said applies, he works on what he feels like working on. It's hardly a middle finger, just the nature of the beast.
