As you are doing above, they are trying to help by give helpful advice.
As with your message, it doesn't always sound gracious.
Hacking the kernel is too hard for most people. Seeing that the highest-numbered kernel is no longer the most-recommended kernel is not too hard for most people, so someone helped by pointing out how old 2.0.30 is and perhaps a focus on .31 would help Linux in the eyes of the world.
David seems to be the focus of stable development, while Linus is the focus of unstable development ;) I expect David is the *last* one the "where's .31?" comment was directed at. If Atlas shrugs, a lot of us will feel stranded, source code or not. That shouldn't motivate the developers, but perhaps they can overlook an occasional cry of fear from the masses.
