The --no-rodc --no-ri issue is one I want to reopen for discussion at some point, but I don't think it's as important as many of the other issues that need to be discussed, nor is it urgent.
I agree with you that like many other things, this wasn't handled especially well. I also think that a pull request with hundreds of +1's looks and feels like a riot. That can't be the best way to draw someone's best emotions out of them.
Please send me your thoughts, even if they don't lead to change in the current atmosphere, they will be documented and shared so that if anything does change, there will be a place to find them. Also, you'd be surprised how much of the shutdown comes from these personally charged conflicts. Ryan and Eric have given me an open ear. They should be turning that ear to their whole userbase, but this is a start.
