Blog post isn’t the best way to collect feedback. Just ask your customers directly.

10 bad title on internet is enough to screw your reputation on 10m developers that probably don’t even follow up the story or even don’t bother to read anything beyond Reddit titles and comments. But then you have 10m developers telling their managers “Oh Gitlab isn’t good”.

Totally. I got a link to this post sent to me today by a co-worker, and already in my mind I've blacklisted using Gitlab in an enterprise environment. It's only now that I found this thread on HN that I learned this isn't set in stone yet. But most people don't read HN.

I agree that the tone of the blog post was more like an announcement than a proposal.
