A lot seem to think the Jardaan will be an enemy - I don't see it. All evidence points at them being pro-life, not anti-life. There may have been a faction of them against the main. I also think they are gone, like the protheans and we will end up having to deal with whatever it was that vanished them. Evidence being them making a point of Liara mentioning how to determine if a race is extinct or not. I think we will be making this determination in time for the Jardaan.
Well the Jardaan are a race. We tend to see a sort of approach to alien enemies as if all of them are the same. So all Kett are evil. But really, just like humans, generally speaking you'd expect not everybody to be the same. Some are good, some are bad.
I do not see the Jardaan as an enemy as such, but these "opponents" that created the Scourge could be a faction within the Jardaan that are not pro-life as you call it. I mean they could be another race, but then it's weird to just call them "opponents". To me this sounds more like a divide within a society.
Part of the question is why the Jardaan started this terraforming business. Are they architects of the universe in their own way or was there a need like facing extinction of their civilization. Maybe the Jardaan were the victims of the Reapers as well. In the end it would be kind of odd if the Reapers just stuck to one corner of the universe, but who knows?
And maybe these opponents are done for as well, leaving us to deal with their legacy: the Scourge. The Scourge reacts to Remnant tech we've seen, so why would these opponents want to stop the terraforming. So far they seem bad guys, but we don't know their reasons yet. We might get some surprises there as well.
