On the contrary, I'd say that your commentary has had a very useful 
effect, even if only by defining a target for those who were interested 
in actually *doing* something as opposed to just complaining.  It's only 
by shifting gears to aim for that target that anything useful (the J2 
implementation and paper) came about.
