+It's not my fear that they are hiding, I know they are very busy and
+lately I had a discussion on the cooker list where I was told with
+very good reasoning that developpers are too occupied with their work
+to waste their time reading user forums and they do not want to be
+bothered by direct contact with users.  As I said there were very good
+reasons given and I understand that.
+
+See, my greatest fear in this area is to run into the same
+communication problem we had in Mandriva for years because this was
+one of the reasons users lost their motivation and trust. In our
+current setup users are even more important because from them come
+those who do the laundry and wipe the floors. Meaning, they will do
+translations, documentation, promotion, user support, spreading
+information, etc.
+
+I'm asking all those question because of this fear, nothing else.
