Yes, the bugtracker. It’s subjective and I could point to multiple examples, but those would be (rightly) dismissed as cherry picking. To me the entire thread really felt like a mob attack, and is filled with comments like:

> "We do not bloody care!"

> "We are the kings of the universe, we dictate which image formats you can use".

I agree that such comments are not useful. I can understand the frustration people may feel (very well actually), but it is not productive to express it in such ways. I don't encourage such reactions, but I do think they are understandable when the first argument for removal is "There is not enough interest". That can be perceived as someone telling you they're removing the thing you want to have because _you_ are not interested in it, and I can see how that can be infuriating and provoke emotional responses.
