Really, there ought to be a qualified disclaimer with the RSRD mod that warns the new users that RSRD alters more than historical placement of shipping.

that kinda goes to the mindset of a modders intentions when doing the mod, some respect others work and some just assume what they think the mod should be like, is better, so it often gets into the realm of personality conflicts over presumptions and perceived transgressions at times.
in the end its always going to be up to the members to decide what they prefer and use the mods they like and don't use those they don't like and go from there.
I always found it pretty presumptuous to alter someone elses mod to the point it changes difficulty and strategy, but then someone else might think they are improving it rather then changing it from the reason people wanted to use that mod in the first place. im sure no one ever tries to alter someone elses mod for no reason at all, im sure they always think they are making improovements.
its one of those things where egos can get in the way and many disputs arose over the years because of things like that.
much depends on the modders point of view on what they are doing to someone elses work, im sure lurker thought he was making TMO better, but its ultimately up to the individual using the mods to decide that for themselves. I think there are just as many who don't like RSRDC for the very reasons mentioned above but then some really do like it and think its great. I never personally liked it for all the same reasons brought up already but that's just me.
