Of course not. As soon as anyone comes up with even a strawman proposal
everyone and their uncle come out of the woods yelling about how that
doesn't describe them (even if it was word for word what they said they
thought it would describe them 2 minutes earlier). In the end, I can only
say that our vocal user base are a bunch of people who spend more time
arguing both sides of an argument and making up at least 2 more sides just
to make sure everything is covered. As such I think our present OS and its
billion offerings matches what they want and don't want at the same time.

But what about our unvocal base? How do we find who are left of them and
what they want.
