I have to say this is one of the most compelling statements I've seen from 
the bitcoind/Bitcoin Core team in over 10 years. Many other projects have 
been on the receiving end of this misperception, and it has in fact caused 
material harm to the community. I don't know what precipitated this change, 
but props to you all for stepping up.

Best,
