"How dare you comment on the flaws found in someone's project!"

If issues are never brought to light then it's very unlikely they will ever be fixed. Would you rather everyone just stayed silent?

I have great respect for someone that can put in the time and effort to reverse engineer Skype, and brave Microsoft's legal team in doing so, but in its current state this code can't be used safely and is far from easy to understand either.

I believe that the best way to bring issues to light is pull request. Second best is the issue. Comment on Hacker News is somewhere down the list
