I understand and symphatize with that.

I have given up on giving feedback to PulseAudio upstream as well for now. I
just try to avoid it, but now Skype required skype 4.3. I donÂt use Skype at
the moment, but I support a close family member who does, and wellâ I hope it
will just work. Or its Google Hangout or at some point a free as in freedom
*and* easy alternative I am not yet aware of.

I read systemd-devel and I think there are quite sane discussions, but I
believe if I bring up general feedback to systemd or question certain things
about itâ wellâ I feel reluctant about it at least.
