Well, that's just mean. It's not like they don't listen to the community 
or communicate with it, on ALL levels. But it's not like all community 
ideas can be implemented immideately, and that everyone can be made 
happy. Anarchy doesn't work even in open source.

I think 2008.08 is in most ways a step forward. And in the things that 
aren't like that.. sometimes you have to take a half step back to get 
two steps forward. Constructive criticism is the best help one can give, 
but bitching is just stupid.

Cheers,
Kalle
