Personally I don't care whether he admits he was wrong or not. I do care that the bug is fixed.

And frankly some of the comments in that bug are going the route of personal attacks against the maintainter, which I don't think is very productive.

"Don't Do That Then" is productive?

Not only is it not productive, it's disingenuous. After all, tihs is a bug that in the worst of cases you're going to be hit by only once (unless you're a masochist), so whoever you tell 'don't do that then' that has just experienced your bug already knows that.

It's the people that haven't experienced it yet that are at risk, and you can't tell those 'don't do that then' preemptively.
