at this point, i don't much care. recently, i've been investing
some time in OE, doing some builds and reporting bugs when i've found
them so, yes, i am *also* part of that community of which you speak.
i even promoted OE for the beagleboard when i gave a talk recently at
ontario linux fest:
http://onlinux.ca/node/78
when i first ran across that xterm bug, i reported it. nothing
happened. i waited, and mentioned it again. eventually, philip
balister admitted that he'd reproduced it. good, i thought, someone
else has seen it so it should be fixed eventually.
nothing. so i mentioned it *again*, but only after doing some
research, to the point where i tracked down the *cause* of the bug,
posted a detailed explanation of that cause, and even mentioned that
i'd verified that a proposed fix solved the problem.
nothing. at this point, i've quite given up on investing any more
time trying to help out.

i'm well aware of that. i was trying to become a productive
*member* of that community. at this point, i've pretty much lost
interest.
