Meh, sounds like fine commentary for a personal blog but a bit too editorial for us to be saying. I would personally drop this paragraph and extend the previous one to thank the community for opening up to different ideas and something along those lines. We should also thank our external [contributors](https://github.com/facebook/react/graphs/contributors).
