No problem, just wanted to make clear we're talking about the same things.

No hard feelings on my side, I didn't make Mer ;)
I'd just like to initiate a shift in mindsets: From "PA on Mer does not 
work correctly on my device!", which we hear from pretty much everyone 
who tries to use it on a device where nobody used it before, to "I see 
that a lot of work still has to be put into making it work on this 
device. How do we get that work started?"

Of course the problem is: How do users distinguish bugs related to 
hardware integration from actual PA- or Mer-Bugs? This is a problem I 
have no solution for yet. One indicator might be that it's a fairly 
obvious and critical bug which has not yet been reported on 
bugs.kde.org. In this case, it's unlikely that it happens on the devices 
we use as well without having been reported yet.
