yeah things can get tough, but its the job, and to keep the community in the dark is by far my biggest complaint. Waiting weeks with no response to major issue and not knowing anything is really uncalled for. Think for a moment how tough is this...once a week, someone writes a sentence or 2 in a thread with no responses allowed to avoid haters/trolls. Here is my example, ""The defection bug failed testing so we are still working on it, A hot fix is still waiting as we want to include that as it is critical. 1.8.1 has begun early testing and is still 2-4 weeks away at the minimum."" that there would take someone less than 5 minutes to do just once a week and would tell the community virtually all they need to know. My question, is something like that really that hard to do for people you want test and spend 10X longer submitting bug reports and files for fixes. We should be a team working together and the communication feels one sided.
