No.  This is mostly you being sensitive about others being
sensitive.  This is your eigenpost as far as I can tell.

There''s a difference between "feature X is missing, they sure
missed
the boat" and "feature X is missing, I guess I''ll scratch
that
itch."  It''s up to us to find a constructive place on that
continuum.

Folks will always differ in their judgement of criticism and others
will criticize them for it.  I hope you aren''t offended by mine.

On topic, another no-brainer for AR adapters is support for prepared
statements.  If anyone has coding/testing time to kill and is looking
to improve Active Record, check out these enhancement requests:
