It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

It's good to see this decade long slog coming to fruition, but it is still a dog house for a bike, not exactly inspiring infrastructure. Painting them anything but slate grey would probably help with visual appeal, so here's hoping for that.
Thinking of the top of the mountain, the Netherlands builds underground bike storage roughly the same as these bike sheds, on a per bike basis. Of course that type of permanent infrastructure is time consuming to construct, but this sudo permanent shed rollout is spread across the next five years, so not exactly quick.
