There is no community that you speak of.
There are people who write diffs, and people who _don't_ write diffs.
In that sub-group of people who don't write diffs, there are a few who

whine loudly and say we are the reason why.  Boo hoo.
If you're not going to write diffs, stop being whiny babies who say

that you don't write diffs because of us....  either step up to the

plate or shut up.
geez, is this kindergarden?
