You missed one thing: They owe the community reasonable expectations of when new releases will drop. That doesn't mean they say a date and always hit it, it just means that they communicate that they are behind their original schedule, a new estimate, and a list of blockers. That way, the community knows what they can do to help.
- powellc 16y agoExactly, and while they certainly don't have to do any of that, when you have commercial developers counting on you, you will lose your community over time with a mantra of "Fuck you." Also, while you could go digging through tickets to figure out what's holding it up, why have a release manager? It seems as though the honeymoon has been over for some time with rails anyway. Between arrogent devs and the Rails 3 delay, I've moved on.
