Concerning communication I also wonder why so far none of the 'responsible' decision makers got involved in the discussion ... I see there are way over 300 views already, so where are you all to tell me why my suggestions are either brilliant or nonsense? :-)
You are right, the process to exchange point of views and learn something by discussing would be at least as important as the question who is 'right' or 'wrong' (anyway most of the time there is no perfect solution which solves every problem at once ...). Ideas which evolve within the community are there to be discussed and should not be considered as a threat anyhow. :)
