Very unfortunate. I also find judgmental busy-bodies to be annoying, and 
demotivating.

I expect that Octave has more to gain from Windows and MacOS users than there 
are liabilities, and am troubled by the decreased support for Windows and 
rumored changes to development on MacOS (clang and such) which may make using 
gcc more difficult.
