The statement you quoted is not a shared sentiment, I don't think its fair 
and reasonable what Boudewijn is saying there about the KOffice community.

As I have been working in the libraries and designed and worked with many

seen any more than normal amount of rewrites. And, frankly, I think the 
amount of rewrites was below the norm.
