We all do understand your point about missing communications. That's, why I
try to "explain" as much, as I can here, on the "WHY"'s. Still, I don't know
the WHY's, so I'm forced to also start thinking about the reasoning behind all
these things. That's as much as you could also do yourself! But, it seems, you
are trying to figure out, if the glass is half empty, and when it will be
empty, whereas I try to explain, why the glass is half full, and when it will
be full.
As also asked many times, be more patient, start thinking yourself about the
things you see, and do NOT overreact or misinterpret. As there are NO
informations, it's all up to your own interpretation. And that can be done in
many directions...
This ODF stuff is simply explained (as I did!), and anyone here could have
come to the same conclusions. It's not rocket sience! The main problem seems
to be, that some here are EAGER to kill the Environment, by calling it
dead. Someone yesterday did a very wonderful description of the situation by
comparing it to Tristan and Isolde or Romeo and Juliet. You believe it to be
dead, and are killing yourself instead of believing in its longevity, and
living happily onward...
