I used the title as an example for how confusingly the rest is written. Imagine alternative post:

I'm maintainer to OpenMW and we have specific target audience with specific profile. We have technologies that serve our goals and that we are happy with. We received request for change that we consider undesirable because app image and packet managers have requirements that make them unfit for our purposes. Here is why we chose not to do it and why the alternative is actually perfect for us.

See, much less shits in title and text, no generic attacks against other people and actual information is transmitted.

I guess I did a really bad job getting my point across because ultimately the OpenMW situation was just used as a convenient example of the kind of tribalism towards technology I see embodied across many subsections of the Linux community. It's not just a single individual or project.

I'd love to do a more technical and less frustrated breakdown of this later - I stand by everything said here, but, I feel like I really failed to get my ideas across.
