Granted spamming people not directly involved with the Market isn't going to do much to improve the situation but some people are prone to taking useless action over doing nothing. Ideally there would be some way for developers to have meaningful interaction with Google about the market instead of continually being forced to wonder what the Market team are currently up to in their lunar base on the dark side of the moon. Does anyone know if content ratings will ever be used for anything???
This thread should probably be moved to Android Discuss if that is possible since that is a more appropriate group but nobody from Google will ever make a meaningful response to it their either.
