I don't think our users make that distinction much.  Popular bloggers have
a lot of clout in our community, more than we usually give them credit
for.  Whether or not, that is warranted is a different debate but we cannot
ignore the potential impact such negative reviews have on the users who are
taking a wait and see approach towards new releases.   I think there are
some amount of valid criticisms that we can take into account and fix for
the next release.  When we do that, we should advertise it enough so users
are aware that there is a feedback loop in place.  I do appreciate the work
already being done in these areas.
