Statements like that from WMF staff are hurtful
towards volunteer
developers. Don't turn this into another MobileFrontend situation.
Antoine's welcome to speak his mind freely, like anyone; there's no
party line. I agree with him that we're unlikely to invest any
significant effort in this unless it gains substantial traction and
starts to look like a real alternative. But I don't think Daniel was
asking for that -- he wants to give it a go, and get others excited
about it. Which is awesome, and exactly what Labs was made for. :-)
WMF is likely going to focus its efforts on participating more in the
gerrit development process and evaluating existing alternatives.
