This is a truth everybody should have to read before submitting their
complaint/feature request/rant/whatever.
It's definitely not as simple as that, probably about a dynamic half
of the truth.
A large part of the developers give away their work and solve problems
of other people just because they like to do so. I presume they
believe enough of the receivers will do something in return
(donations, or even code) to help the whole project.
This all is pure economics, although there are far less developers
than users, the whole project is in a dynamic "balance". Sometimes
Theo screams for money, sometimes a user screams for code. Both seem
disturbing to others but there is essentially nothing wrong with both
of them, they are fully allowed to do so because of the free speech on
this list.

p.s. Really nothing wrong with getting the E450 in the spotlight so
more people know of a lack of code and really nothing wrong with
knowing the project has a lack of money.
