I saw Rahul's comment as an invitation to do more than just vent in
generalities.  The link he provided is an invitation to get involved in
specifics and a chance to really make a difference without having your
voice buried in the mass of noise on this list.

This list is good for quick responses and general questions as well as a
lot of (sometimes opinionated) discussion.  But as this thread shows, it
quickly takes a turn away from the original subject and often has no
further bearing on the original  topic.

Participating in ways listed in that link are not subject to the
diversions seen here and thus are more focused and more productive.

I think that someone with as strong an opinion as the OP would be of use
in influencing development in ways he feels beneficial.  Others may feel
the same way and it works to influence the system to work "your way".
