You completely missed my point. Yes, I'm talking about the lack of
communication between the design team and the community, but this
time as a mere *consequence* of issue actually being discussed:
that the communication is broken *internally* on the design team.

As far as I know, design team members not being aware of other
design team members are doing is *not* a topic "hashed, re-hashed
over-n-over again several times".
