Whoops, you're right; I should have mentioned it was on the forums, not |
| 10 |
this list ... |

My issue isn't just about tactfulness; "F*** you, we're still working on |
| 19 |
X, Y, and Z" would have been great. But they refuse to give any details |
| 20 |
on the hold-up. Most people couldn't help out if they wanted to, simply |
| 21 |
because no-one knows what's keeping the release back. This standoffish |
| 22 |
attitude (again, not on this list) toward the community is what |
| 23 |
threatens the "open" status. |
