Yes, we can certainly help manage expectations, which I think is going
to be more effective. At the very least, it is a good place to start.
Perhaps it would be worthwhile if everyone interested in this issue have
a look at what is on worg about contributing and propose some additions/updates?
Responding to essentially just flag you have seen the patch message
really only adds noise and may even 'drown out' those responses which
add real 'value' to any discussion. I also doubt that asking people to
do this would actually result in any actual change of behaviour by
subscribers.
