Right... Why have public discussion when you can decide something in a
commity?
Why tell anyone that someone is working on it unless someone sends a
public mailing list a propusel to do the same?

Give me a break.. if it's something that being discussed for so long
and the people who worked on it didn't hear about the intentions of that
commity, then something is wrong on your part don't you think?

I already offed you guys to make a roadmap, and show public what you are
planning, it was completly ignored as a useless offer.
I hope now you see why I think it's usefull
