Right, one's own opinion may not be speaking for all others, but with 
"we solicit feedback....to synthesize and make the best decisions 
possible" is also just your own perception Matt. I'm quite positive that 
many others who have tried to raise their voices (early) would argue 
about that.

Interesting: comparing the count of items related to constructive 
criticism to entries *generally* praising the new design, *I feel* there 
is a bit of a discrepancy.

It is nothing that can't be fixed, but why pressure yourself by 
communicating release schedules, that can hardly be met and only causes 
important fixes (not only UI related) to slip into a next release.
