Lets please discuss that constructively: Yes, we need to grow a stronger QA
community. How do we get there? Dont tell me "development has to do what QA
says" as that is a nonstarter too. There have to be ways to grow the community
without subduing development. Those are the ones we are looking for.

And yes, that doesnt preclude improving the interaction between QA and
development, but that is something that is tricker to negotiate without either
side falling off the cliff. Please trust us to do so at the ESC.

Best,

Bjoern
