Pretty much. To be clear, I think the blog is perfectly fine as it is. It’s just that some people need things spelled out for them. If they didn’t, there would be no need for FAQs; they could just infer everything from existing info.
Heck, even after the blogpost clearly spelled it out, someone obviously unfamiliar with how software development works was wondering why we would intentionally remove smb, which is such a useful feature. The easy thing to do is to assume the guy is a complete idiot, but it’s also possible people unfamiliar with software development would not be able to piece together that when making a port to a new platform the various functions also have to be ported.
I figure, if a lot of people are clearly not piecing it together, it’s really no sweat off our backs to include a sentence in the FAQ.
