PR: Remove forEach and add "subscribe" overload Issue: "Ask for Insights on first run." breaks automation.
tc39/proposal-observable, 27 May 2016 bower/bower, 6 Feb 2014
Promises, naming and everything in between. People are not happy install requires user interaction.

PR: LockFile Feature PR: Remove donation links and add apology
bower/bower, 21 Mar 2015 chrisaljoudi/uBlock, 13 Aug 2015
Bower needs $$$ support to review lockfile feature. User is not happy with the unmoral behavior of soliciting donations for the work of others.

PR: Replaced occurrences of master/slave terminology with leader/follower Issue: irungentoo, cut it out
django/django, 20 May 2014 irungentoo/toxcore, 19 Jan 2015

Issue: Fix the versioning PR: Removed use of gendered pronoun
jashkenas/underscore, 27 Aug 2014 joyent/libuv, 29 Nov 2013
Minor version bump introduces a lot of breaking changes. Title says it all.

Issue: IJulia is broken Issue: Swiping left and right will also activate HREF link
JuliaLang/IJulia.jl, 9 Dec 2015 kenwheeler/slick, 20 Oct 2014
Fix problem by "remove IJulia and try again". Repo owner is arrogant.

Issue: cURL get.mojolicio.us | sh PR: Intersection types
kraih/mojo, 29 Jul 2014 Microsoft/TypeScript, 25 Jun 2015
"Please adjust your attitude before participating in the development of Mojolicious." Code review and confusion goes too far.

nodejs/node, 9 Nov 2015 opal/opal, 19 Jun 2015
Kill and suicide should not be used in programming contexts. Maintainers beliefs causes problems.

PR: Correct typos Issue: ActiveRecord.where(hash).create callbacks inherit the where(hash)
