Why do knots users care what core does?

1. Knots users are people who were core users. The complaints represent a desire to return if core started doing what they wanted again.
2. Knots uses core as a base. Luke reimplements all of his changes on the newest forked version of Core every release.

As far as why the percents matter... I could explain it, but it's been explained to death and don't care about it to begin with lol.
