I guess it never occurred to you that this discussion could occur in a way that wasn't quite that ridiculous. "Hey, I really liked my fic, and I personally have no complaints about it, but I suspect you might be new to the Yuletide and matching system, so I wanted to give you a heads-up for future years that generally you're expected to give more equal screen time to both requested characters. Once again, I loved this fic and am in no way complaining. I just wanted to save you potential headaches if you participate in the future, which I hope you do, because you're a great writer."

I would a million times prefer to get a private nudge from the mods than a comment like this if I was the author. (Also, it's hella condescending.)

In all seriousness, that's the kind of comment I'd be tempted to delete. I wouldn't want that on my fic. A brief heads-up from the mods would be vastly preferable.
