It was in no way meant as criticism. In fact, if you *had* focused only on that one aspect, I would have still been full of praise as it seems a very viable model. Keep rocking! Gabor Hojtsy wrote:

The link[1] Thomas Barregren posted was quite interesting. Indeed, Drupal seems to be experiencing some of the issues the Linux kernel faced some years ago, albeit not nearly as drastically. Reading through that post and the rest of the comments on the mailing list here bring me to some observations.
1. Gabor has done a great job. In particular, he has led the drive for i18n features in core. That's awesome. 2. Gabor came in almost as if he had a mandate to focus on #1, and indeed, he has focused nearly exclusively on #1. 3. Whether this was by accident or design, it worked well and would seem to be scalable and repeatable.
While I did concentrate on language improvements, I did do a fair share of deep reviews, helping patches move into a Drupalish direction, eg. the batch API, actions, the jQuery 1.1.2 update, the file API, update module, quite a few theme improvements and so on...
I hope to get recorded as a language support advocate but at the same time, I am not comfortable being locked into this place only ;)
