Pressure? Sure talking doesn't help much but putting pressure on
developers doesn't help neither. If i would be a member of the developer
group i would say "i do this for fun, i do this for myself, i do this
for money maybe, but i certainly won't do this for anyone who forces me
to do this without having a good point". The developers and coders do
the work, not the ones that complain ... i agree with Miod on that. The
ones with commit access set the priorities. (Still, it would be nice at
least to have typos fixed in README.SMP ;)
