Isn't listening to users the least that we should be able to expect from any open source project? Some projects (like GNOME and Firefox) have not done this very well lately, but it used to be pretty standard. The BSDs and their affiliated projects have generally been more receptive to the needs of users than most open source projects, as well.
I'm disappointed to hear that the use of -Werror was removed, though. I wish they'd been more specific in the email about how far they've gone with this. Is it only removed for certain platforms/compilers where it was problematic, or is it gone for all builds?
