Actually it wasn't - I just didn't want to point fingers without permission.

Yes, I've noticed this list seems a lot more communicative.  I'm glad to
hear the intent is for it to be a first class citizen; I was worried it
was going to be like the past, but I really breaking with the past is
the reason for the split in the first place, so I look forward to a
brighter future (which helps for someone who tends to a 'glass
half-empty' kind of person).
