I really would hate to see you go, Mikkel... Personally I've not been unsubscribed (yet), but it is very clear to me that the company is decaying, what with the mess on their website (difficult to find anything), the list problems, and the general contempt for the community. I've been here since 7.0 and the only reason I'm staying is this very community. The distro in itself is fine, IMHO. But the company..... :-( Maybe it's just the usual French attitude : arrogance, neglect, sloppiness and "laisséz faire". IMO we could go on just fine without this "management". Either way, I will not renew my club (silver) membership.
