methods exist to learn the needs and preferences of developers,
contributors, long time users and drive-by Redmond Ship Jumpers out
shopping for something better, and 'free'..

i believe this exercise began with trying to satisfy the first two of
those groups and to date i've seen little desire or effort to use any
methods available to learn about the last two..

[though (imo) very little that could be learned by polling the last
group would be beneficial to the Community (unless we wanna become
Ubuntu II, which i don't think anyone really wants)..]

a problem i feel is many on this list (who are the voting base) see
only two groups: devs/contributors and a bubble gum crowd of
worthless, mindless, helpless talkers and takers..

by so doing the leadership misses a large segment of long time
S.u.S.E., SUSE, SLE_ and openSUSE lovers/supporters who might never
appear in the forums or on the mail list..
