While I agree it is genuinely a good change, that alone won't be enough to make potential code contributors submit their work, since you give responses like "You are very wrong" without any elaboration whatsoever.
2 hints, 2 responses to offences, 1 rectification, 1 question.
"You are very wrong" is enough, because there is no need to back here to AC history, it wouldn't help in any thing.
You people think, that we are so blind, that we don't see many problems in AC and only ignore community? Nowadays there are only 2 devs, which regularly send commits changed source code (in a free time :)), the rest does it rarely. These 2 devs are stef and me, and only stef is very good programmer (regardless of opinion of some ignorants) and nobody knows AC engine as he; I'm weak programmer. We both are devs since only a few months (stef had about 4,5-year break). So we don't know any changes in source code made by "community" between 2010 - 2014 year, and won't know them, if somebody won't show them. And yes, we see, that in 2009/2010 there often played about 350 people in the same time, and now maximally about 100 (and half on crappy maps)...
Many wrong things are already fixed on GitHub, rest will be fixed in next release(s), for that though there is need a time.
And any risk and weird "experiments" can't be accepted (at least for sure not now).
Easier to discuss about "pause" feature, if somebody will show that already finished code, which was "tested (?) by Larry) that have been acknowledge by many people and where there's almost no negative points". Btw you focus on and fight for "pause" feature, as if it would be the most important thing to do in AC... No, it isn't.
Since migration to GitHub contribution to AC of "community" is sporadic (I don't count myself and stef before becoming the devs), only a few people did something (sent commits, bug reports), so I suppose, that currently none programmer isn't interested in contribution to source code and in consequence becoming the dev.
