I think it does. I believe that is the root cause of our difficulty in |
| 9 |
getting news to our users. We rely on our users coming to us to find |
| 10 |
the news. If they don't do that, they don't get the news. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Our aim is to put the news in front of 100% of our userbase. Not the |
| 13 |
small fractions who check each of the places where news is currently |
| 14 |
published. |

Did you read the original blog posting which kicked this off? Or the |
| 21 |
thread in the forums where our users claim the Apache upgrade was a |
| 22 |
surprise - even though this was a well-trailed change? That's just one |
| 23 |
change. |

I don't understand the problem from your point of view. No, scratch |
| 26 |
that. I don't understand your point of view. You're coming across to |
| 27 |
me as someone who doesn't believe there's a problem that needs solving. |

I'm tempted to forcibly co-opt you into the PHP team before we put |
| 30 |
dev-lang/php live. This would allow you to experience the situation for |
| 31 |
yourself. Maybe that would give you another perspective? ;-) |
