And I say my opinion, at least if I see that there could be
regressions or serious issues. If it's just a misunderstanding due to
too little informations given with an announcement it can easily be
cleared up by explaining it a bit more detailed.

I'm not a developer, so this may be one of the reasons for not giving
patches or solutions so many times. If I have one, I usually give it,
and I did it quite a few times already.

Then the developers should just develop for themselves without
releasing it publically or without creating a community around it, if
they don't want to listen to the users and their opinions. And/or they
should just say on the homepage: "You may use it, but if it fails
you're on your own." But I doubt that this is the opinion of most of the
developers.
