It is easier to say who did not agree. You are the only one who
dissented. Everyone else either consented or did not care either way.

This is in fact a hostile remark. I hope you will be able to get over
this initial reaction. I'm sure it is a little bit of a shock, but in
the end we will hopefully get a useful discussion about whether we
should include generated files or not in the repository, whether we
should start to provide release snapshots for users, or carry on with
simply mandating that users apply bootstrap and be certain to have the
updated tools.
