Is it different than someone advertising their FAANG's credentials?
Once again, if you feel every contributor is entitled, don't open source your project or disable issues and make it very clear issues and contributions are not welcome.
It 100% is entitlement, and open source is not a "product" because you don't pay for it. The developers of open source owe you nothing.
For the umpteenth time in this discussion, no one said they did. And please note what I implicitly defined as supported, which is basically that a non-antagonistic conversation can be had about issues and contributions. That is not entitlement.
Actually you did when you said, among other things:
>To me, it just sets an implicit expectation of "this is something I support"
>Again, expecting a product to be supported unless otherwise stated is not entitlement
If you describing something you expect, you are describing something that you feel that you are owed.
Why even participate in open source if everyone seems to hate it and be on edge?
