What does HackerNews think of haxe-evolution?

Why the automatic defense of the Haxe team? Frankly, small communities like this sometimes come across as cult-like in their response to criticism, and it isn't a good look.

Here's the proposal in question: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe-evolution/pull/51

Here's the process which wasn't followed: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe-evolution. Very little discussion, no public vote, even though the proposer put in the effort and clearly wanted to engage.

When someone puts in the effort to make a proposal like this, this bait and switch is not a way to keep them around, and insulting them in HN comments isn't any better.
