This discussion is about opinions. Interpretations and impressions valued against one's own ideals and expectations... All I see is slamming of these opinions against each other to no end...

This discussion has lost it's taste.

What I still want to contribute (against my better judgement), is that I see Jolla's situation as that of an amateur acrobat first time trying walk a rope... In case of Jolla, their business has two opposing ends, open source and transparency versus business realities, the former being able to seriously sever the latter. It's like living in a machiavellian (business) reality and still trying to live up to some higher ideals. And they're new at it.

What comes to their communication, I'd need more information to form a decision on that... and maybe greater motivation to find out. Right now at least I'm not up to it, and even less to discuss about it even if I came to a conclusion (=my opinion) somehow.
