Hi Jeremy, I meant no disrespect to you or other coders. You all do marvellous work.
I was simply illustrating, using some very improbable examples, the 'closed' behaviours engendered by elevating some groups in the community to be 'special trusted testers'.
Either there is a community which, by definition is inclusive of all abilities, or there is not.
Making some more equal than others (qv George Orwell ?) does not a Community make.
I waited a good few hours for someone to point out the obvious but alas the task falls to me...
The Amazon lens was introduced
after the feature freeze.
Not only did this upset many posters but it makes a mockery of having accountable timelines and removes the protections intended to ensure a coherent release.
