@MartinK ... I know, but a lot of people were previously ignoring the elephant in the room or, preposterously, claiming that Sailfish was fast, lightweight, optimised and reliable. I was wondering what caused the sudden reality check.

The true believers are either absent or conspicuously quiet for once. Usually the fair knights of the community rush to defend the honour of the damsel in distress (Jolla/Sailfish) .... that isn't really happening this time. People are arguing about the details, but not denying the problem or its magnitude. I just find it strange, as Sailfish has been woeful in the previously stated regards either since its inception or since the Qt update for the OOM (10 months ago).
