I doubt that -- his slides would discourage any potential
developers from joining; after all, we showed "zero interest in
addressing these issues", he was "unable to get help from the
development community, and patches were "hard or impossible to
contribute back".

... I mean, I'm *already* a developer, and I now have almost no
motivation to continue working on lilypond.  If somebody wasn't
already engaged in the project, there's no way they'd want to join
after reading those slides.
