How?

None, because the bunch of geek developers [mostly] don't care about look and 
feel, that's why we need to expand how community to people that care about 
polish.

That's nonsense, i'm not defending "my feature" since I as a geek don't care 
about look and feel and I've never used this feature, but i recognise the fact 
that we *should* be caring about it and finding someone in the greater 
community to make sure how messaging to the user is consistent.
