If by agenda you mean trying to solve the hacky state of the library, 
then sure. Otherwise, please get rid of any potential slanderous 
thoughts you may be have about it, because it sounds like you may be 
having trouble distinguishing expressed personal opinions with actual 
unrelated coding efforts.

So again, focus on working with people to find a solution and a future 
for the library, in whatever form we ultimately decide is best, instead 
of attacking them for not sharing your opinions. So far, I've seen 
plenty of the latter and nothing of the former.
