"What did X ever do for us?" is the standard catch phrase of this guy in any pirate movie wanting to take command of the ship.

It's not the words of somebody who wants to help anybody, just somebody wanting the power.

It's a Monty Python reference[0], not a power grab. The article lists out all the great things core has done.

It is clearly satire and a Monty Python reference, how can you be so wrong ?

Many (maybe even most) of the misunderstandings on HN have to do with people talking across national or regional lines without being aware of it. I don't know, but it would be natural if that were the case here.
