I also want to hear ideas from Akamai, even if they aren't perfect. Perhaps they can lead to good things.
Unfortunately Pinckaers' commentary is a little bit too hostile and calls for Akamai to cease sharing ideas[1].
I'm sure Akamai's developers are "adult" enough, as you say, to handle it. However there is a trope in software development community that if you share something, you should be fine with being open to no holds barred attacks. Wouldn't the more "adult" behavior be to criticize in a more professional tone that is open to refinement of ideas and could spark further collaboration? I'd like to see this type of communication more in the software world, I think it would encourage more participation.
