Some are also (fairly) questioning "why the anonymity?", and "where is the evidence?"

Those two things are connected: I can't provide the evidence without revealing identity. And the reason for the anonymity is we still have some small databases with 10gen and a current support contract. I had intended to go public with all this after we had transitioned off the system entirely, but more and more reports have continued to pop up of people having trouble with MongoDB, and it seemed as though delaying would be imprudent. An anonymous warning would be more valuable than saying nothing.

So--if you choose to ignore or dismiss our claims, you're entitled. :-) I still feel satisfied that I did what I needed to do.

Reading this overall thread, I think you didn't have as much of an impact on people's thinking as you'd probably like to. I hope after your company finishes transitioning you do go public on this, with all the specific evidence.
Are you willing to reveal your and your company's identity once you're completely off of Mongo?
Yep. I do regret not GPG signing it or something so we could later claim it without more conspiracy theories. But I'll blog about it on an official blog as soon as we're clear of any interest in MongoDB.
