I would like to add few more lines.

Let us (by us, we mean all Emacs users) understand that we have
benefited from (or rather exploited) a good man's largesse. Let us also
understand that we have nothing to fear that the goodness we have come
to treasure and enjoy would continue to be available and wouldn't be
ever taken away in to manipulating us.

Let's accept our pettiness. 

Let's express our solidarity and gratitude to Richard by tolerating what
"we perceive as mistakes" and be kind enough to overlook them.
