Then you shouldn't need to caveat it. Should you. You're putting the caveat in there because you know that some of what you're saying could be taken as bashing devs.
I mean I agree. 1.5.8 has been a hot mess. I'm sure the devs are having some long awkward zoom meetings. But that's what beta is for, and all they need out of me is to know what needs fixing. Everything else is opinionated fluff. Literally two posts above this I pointed out something I noticed that needs fixing. I did so without any opinion on anyone or their work. Easy.
