You mean they are polishing the code because they don't want us to see how badly things are done behind the scenes? We already know that, rest assured
EDIT: Just for clarification, I do in no way support hacking anyone else's Shard, neither Cyan's nor a fan-run server. As you said, that IS disrespectful. If someone wants admin powers, he should go ahead and create his own playground. I just don't agree on the conclusions you draw.
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.

I would need time to work all the bugs out so when I do release it I would be releasing a Quality product instead of the technical equivalent of swiss cheese.
As far as we know Cyan doesn't have the time and ressources to do that.

Im not sure which conclusions your referring to however I just feel that it is situations like the one that unfolded that may be pushing back open source further then it already has been, and if the person responsible for the hacking is reading this they may want to consider the disrespectful nature of their actions and perhaps avoid doing such things in the future.

we have waited this long, two years we got this far the Caverns are open to any one who wishes to visit them I believe its the first step. Give them time nothing happens over night
That attack had nothing to do with impatience, IMO. If someone wanted to state their displeasure in the open source timing, I am sure they would have used a less benign phrase.
More than likely this was a new person or someone who isn't to involved in the community, who knows about server code and decided to see what they could get away with. Finding out they could change those values they decided to leave some evidence they did it for fun. If you research the meaning of the phrase, you won't find anything that pertains to Open source Uru or anything about timing or impatience. So how are you concluding this person is angry? It seems you're wrongfully profiling them and with them the people who know how to hack Uru.
As far as I can tell, no one who is hacking Uru is upset about Open Source Uru's timing. Sure some people are getting a little antsy for Cyan to release it, but no one is having any kind of anger fits.
Pretty sure this is unrelated to open source... If they're working on bugs before open source, then, yeah, they're crazy, but, I guess that is par for the course. We can fix the bugs, if and when we get open source. Pity whoever did this didn't do something /useful/ and fix sharper's journal. But, you get that.
EDIT: note, not saying that this was at all appropriate, etc... just saying that if they were going to do it, which we know they were, since they did it.. I wish it was something far more useful, and far less disrespectful. Not saying that doing it is a good thing, either, so, yeah, not condoning this sort of action, etc, etc, etc...
We already know that, rest assured
