So, your idea of input is "this can be improved". What kind of input
is that? If you have a concrete suggestions for improvement, I'm all
ears.

Or do you want me to make random modifications until Jason likes one
of them? So far, *everybody* that has raised concerns has at least
tried to provide some suggestions, except Jason, who apparently for
some reason wants me to do his thinking for himself. I would gladly
try that, if that is going to move this thing forward, but I think it
would be much more productive if he did that, if at least because it
would shorten the cycle between: how about this? nope, this? nah...

I can only think of one reason why somebody would provide criticism
without suggestions for improvement...

Also, I thought this was *GNOME* user survey, not mine.
