You folks are working hard on this, and there's little value in me sitting
on the sidelines with complaints you're not interested in hearing. So
I'll limit myself to one little thing:

Do you understand how condescending and arrogant that sounds? I honestly
believe that's not your intent, but that's what comes across. It will not
endear you to users who have their own idea of what they "*should* want to
change."
Thanks,
