Moral: When you have a large project don't mention anybody in specific. You will only alienate those you didn't mention.

Well, it's fine to mention the names of key players. But if you choose to do that, it's weird to not mention the name of the person who started the project and has been driving it.

People these days need to grow thicker skins.

Each choice we make in this world alienates some. We don’t need to avoid it. The upside of recognizing people on the team probably far outweighs the downside of missing someone. One should probably know who made significant contributions on one’s project. If films are able to have credits for everyone who worked on the project, the so can we.
