It could. It just demands a lot from receiving side also, which is something especially this community despise as an idea ("nothing can be demanded from community ever in any way"-attitude). In a sense they tried kind of running dialogue approach by giving out information about their intentions and plans but so far it has only resulted in backlash and constant demands of only accurate and full information instead of something incomplete which stems up loads of speculation. And of course accusations of broken promises when "we're thinking about it" is taken as concrete promise. It has been like that since from the beginning, so changing to silence until everything is agreed, set up and polished wouldn't be surprising move at all. That's what I would definitely do.
