No one ever says anyone is unwanted. But, as Greg pointed out in this thread (with my possibly completely wrong interpretation), contributors during discussions like these get a sense that the wind is changing direction and can feel that their efforts are being marginalized or that they are not as appreciated as they have been in the past. It isn't easy to pinpoint what things accumulate over time to create this feeling.
