It's a mailing list, not an online course.

I didn't see anybody other than Hiram say the project needs more/better
coordination, and I certainly don't believe in guilt as a motivator,
so I have no idea why you keep harping on technical debt as something
objective and relevant to subversion. Cunningham was referring to shipping
software with premature design elements in it when he coined the term,
not at all related to counting up the number of issues a bug tracker.
Let it go.
