I wonder if silence would encourage users to be more independent when trying to solve their problems? That seems to be the way qtcentre.org operates. People will reply if they have an answer, and ignore your post if they either don't know the answer or the answer has been answered numerous places already. I personally prefer silence over a "RTFM" reply. IMHO there is less chance of confrontation As the old cliche goes, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

Perhaps being pedantic, but there has been plenty of conversation around repartitioning the N 900 -- one discussing ntfs for large data transfers I believe, which might lead people to this tool. ;-)

That being said, more likely is that the same user, not knowing that he has to enable the tools repo will instead discover cfdisk which is available (I think). That, or they'll see that it is a command line program and say "screw that, where's the gui?".
