You could theoretically separate "us" and "you" into:

- The recent end-user n900 enthusiasts. Did not really create anything. They also cannot do any "Testing" as they might be using the phone for day-to-day activities and cannot handle any downtime.

- The veteran Maemo or Linux users. They might've created, ported or tested something at some point. They did it just like that. They didn't ask for payment nor cared about how popular the mobile is or who supports it. The N900 might be their primary device. It might not. They don't believe things are "bad" because they can still do what they want to do with the N900 one way or the other.

I think both groups have valid points. I think the only thing the first group can do is just wait and see what the second group comes up with or just moves on to another device.

The second group will just continue to do what they do.
I agree with your observation-- and if that WAS the intended context, then the developers and other contributors who have been outraged over the thread title and first post have a point. The subject comes across as a demand rather than a request. Again, it would be nice to see that clarified by the OP.
