No. I don't have time to answer things that clearly aren't relevant.

Depends on how you define community. If you think of community as simply
being the users, I would say "probably not". If you think of community being
the developers, I would say "definitely so". Since day one, the ASF (not
Open Source), but the foundation has been driven by what developers want,
not what users want. This is clearly evident in the voting process as well.

I would say that is the reason why people who have spoken up want it.
However, whether or not releasing it is a good thing in the long term is
what I'm concerned with because I'm one of the people who is stuck
supporting it.

That is a fucked up question. I'm not being a dictator at all and I think it
is rude of you to suggest that I am being one. I'm simply going with what
the active developers have proposed and voted and agreed on.

I don't understand what your point is here. Please clarify.
