@zacchiro A little bit of a stretch to indict the whole"software engineering research community" (whatever that means) over this.

@lwriemen indeed I'm not making that comment based just on this. I work in the field and this is just the n-th example I came across in my career. (Although it is an egregious one.)

@zacchiro Just to clarify, the n-th example of experimentation on FOSS developers?
