And I say my opinion, at least if I see that there could be regressions or serious issues. If it's just a misunderstanding due to too little informations given with an announcement it can easily be cleared up by explaining it a bit more detailed. I'm not a developer, so this may be one of the reasons for not giving patches or solutions so many times. If I have one, I usually give it, and I did it quite a few times already. > Folks, don't forget, arch isn't a democracy. The developers do what > they want. Then the developers should just develop for themselves without releasing it publically or without creating a community around it, if they don't want to listen to the users and their opinions. And/or they should just say on the homepage: "You may use it, but if it fails you're on your own." But I doubt that this is the opinion of most of the developers. Heiko
