I really don't understand the tone of the exchanges here.  It seems to
be verging on hostility but I don't understand why.

Felipe, your original post in this thread (which was completely
unrelated to the thread topic of a release schedule) was:
"Still the input from the user-base is not considered?"

Basically, you accused GNOME developers of not caring what users want
(in a not particularly polite way).  From what I understand, the
reason that you think this is because GNOME has not created a
'brainstorm' application like ubuntu did (and dell before them...).
Is this a correct summary of your position?  Or is there something
else that you are upset about?

Please help me understand what this thread is about.
