There are hundreds of packages to cope with and many people are stretched very thin. :'( There is literally a hand full of people managing all the packages and it is up to the users to keep track and raise issues with packages. The managers of the packages then run around trying to come up with the fixes. Some of which are not plain and simple. Then they need to go through the QA process and etc. This all leads to TIME. Unfortunately, most people are hard at work with say FC6 to really devote great attention to the current FL project. So, we have been left to fend for ourselves. The last straw was probably the decision to lighten the load and get rid of all the other legacy supported (releases) and concentrate on one to two FL releases at most.... All of this and more has forced many to abandon supporting FL in favor of other platforms with continued support.
In short, people willing and able to do all the work necessary has dwindled to but a few. Jesse and a few others, mostly working at RH serving many roles on other projects. Just my 2-cents.
