At what cost?
The arguments arise to a large degree from attempting to review his work. Not doing so is not an option, see e.g.:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/223279 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/225969 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/226125
And that's not even counting the part of the argument that arises purely from deliberate flaunting of the project's guidelines.
