Mainly, the hostility exuded by VLC developers.  As reference, you can see:

1) https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/9475
2) https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/10832
3) This thread.

That sed usage had been there for years (well before I tried to start cleaning up the port).  It was using sed as part of generating some paths to run your 'genmf' script in.  Presumably, this was all added by someone before you guys added the bootstrap script.  I appreciate your (eventual) help in figuring that out, but the hostility was simply uncalled for.

Yes, that is quite rude.  You should not be hostile and threatening to your users nor distros for reporting problems or reopening them if they are still unresolved.  This behavior is one of the reasons I decided to stop maintaining the VLC ports.

I will not be responding further.
