The post's title is "What Went Wrong". What kind of comments were you expecting here? Running an OSS project is no different than running a startup in a lot of respects – marketing and PR matters. It's great to write candid posts like this, but you can't jump into other forums where the post has been linked and try to manage the conversation after the cat's out of the bag. It ends up sounding like damage control.

Instead, you should welcome further observations about some of the perceived mistakes the Meteor team made and point out specific examples where they're being addressed.
