That is not likely to be a good indicator of how annoyed people are
on short term. I, for instance, just ignore this list as long as the
commit messages are spammed to this list. I'll wait a few months before
deciding to leave or not. In the meantime I direct most questions to
other lists (Seaside, Moose, Pharo, Beginners).

A better indicator is how many different people are posting on
non-commit related topics. That number has fallen significantly,
though that might be related to people moving to Pharo.

In essence, this list has converted from being the general squeak list
to being development of squeak itself only.
