Example you offered doesn't seem to prove it.
I'm not opposed to Jolla being transparent. I'm opposed to bitching about it on issues that cannot be affected by community in any way, but that have potential to become destructive for Jolla. We can look at it as being realistic (me) and being overtly optimistic (you) about human behavior. I'm more into no-nonsense information that can actually be used to something creative, in a way that doesn't harm Jolla's business.
It's not a false argument. You don't seem to think beyond those "few updates" (which were given). One update spawns ten requests for more updates, then other update spawns another ten more and so on and so forth... and for what purpose? As a firewood for even more bitching, possibly tarnishing company's reputation in the eyes of those potential customers that are not "community members"? Mind you that over there there are plenty of people who just love that kind of information for mud slinging (yes, they exist even outside the community).
As far as I remember, they were all handling those deliveries. Even CEO. And again, no amount of status updates would have sufficed, but being stained of people handling the deliveries it would have caused delays.
