"It doesn't work" issues are bad for all the reasons described in the article, but the ones that really boggle the mind are the _demands_ people think they can make of maintainers they have zero leverage over.
My favorite in recent history was a developer (who had never made any contributions to the repo, nor even filed the original issue) saying something to the effect of "if this issue is not resolved shortly, we will move our company to use a different software." Talk about threatening the maintainers with a good time.
