I think this is a very thoughtful, high-quality post.
A lot of people are saying that this is all way too much drama and analysis for a language community, and I do think a lot of this was overblown; but I think posts like this ones are symptoms of a healthy community, that takes the time to understand problems and have thoughtful discussions about them.
I think it's better to have a mindset of "talk about problems soon and often" rather than "don't think about it, let it blow over", even if the observable result is a lot of hand-wringing sometimes.
