I feel like I'm stating the obvious here : *of course* their time is more 
important. If somebody breaks my code in cvs, that's ok. I'll be angry, but 
the only damage is wasted time. If somebody breaks kivio just before a 
release, then that might mean lost customers. Yes, that's not what happened 
here, but I think that's what Shawn is mostly afraid of.

I agree, if kivio's developers are staying out of the communication channels 
of the platform they are working on, it simply can't work.
