I was never, or at least I tried to, doubting your reasons or the
context.

The only point I wanted to raise was around the communication, and maybe
the disconnect with the distributions, as well as the transition fro 1.4
to 2.x.

As someone pointed out, Linux os not that place filled with geeks
anymore, it has many users who just expect the thing to work and provide
a service. 2.x came at them rather brutally.

Not all your doing.

Anyway, I don't want to beat a dead horse, especially when it is not
dead, it is quite the opposite.

1.4 was great for the users, 2.x is already great for the developers, so
it will be amazing again real soon now for the users.

Thanks for your work, keep it up, but sometimes try to put yourselves in
the shoes of those plain users, they do not necessaryly see the world as
you do.

Nico
