I'm cleaning up my inbox and found this reply (that I somehow missed earlier).
I'm sorry about the lateness of the reply but felt that I should
clarify a misunderstanding.
By "communication policy," I don't mean giving updates of the progress
of an upcoming release (especially given Karanbir's explanation of the
difficulty in estimating the completion point); I mean not telling
people "if you're unhappy, use another distribution" or making similar
types of comments and creating problems for themselves (like the
negative article posted in this thread) and those who promote their
distribution (I have two companies where I consult in which the IT
managers have asked me to switch to Debian).
