> If you don't like it, fork it.

The original request was ridiculous but in fairness the "if you don't like it, fork it" attitude is really bad too. Forking something isn't zero cost. You'd have to maintain it, and then try to get developers to come to your fork, teach users about your fork, and then you end up with the annoying ffmpeg/libav situation where you have two similar but different projects.

It's kind of like saying "if you don't like Trump why don't you just leave?".

A better and more honest response would have been "I have considered your idea and I unfortunately disagree and won't implement it."
