ARM IDE

Developers are usually interested in solving interesting problems instead of boring everyday stuff. Of course they don't want to be bothered every day by students with installation problems who haven't read the README file. But, hey, I'm a developer, too, and I won't contact support without in advance having tried hard to solve the problem.

I think nobody claimed that. (Someone put it in those words a while ago: nobody ever got to see my C64 BASIC exercises. Today's schoolboys' playpen PHP accidents are sold as open-source e-commerce solutions.)

If the bug doesn't get fixed, nobody deems it important. For OSS you could at least try to resolve the situation if you disagree with the maintainer's view.

That doesn't necessarily depend on the kind of software they sell, it more depends on the size of the company. A small company that is happy to have found a big one buying their stuff will be more cooperative than a big one having sold to a smaller customer, and knowing that the customer has no choice. Especially when there's an ocean between the latter two.

How many second tries were copied to sales? Sales people see a problem between themselves and their next bonus. They are people people with the best map of the company.

Look at my list it is surprisingly effective at solving problems quickly.

I have been on both sides of this problem. When the clear objective is to solve a problem things can go very quickly.

This is not the case. You seem very paranoid.

I thought the publishing time objective was within one month (+-) of announcing the end of availability. :-)

And what do you get when you add those statements?

EOL will be announced at least one year after you have designed-in a component.

No, I think Stef just forgot to add one himself.

Not really forgotten, I thought it was obvious enough. But to make it clear to everyone:

I have painfully found, after many silly events, that it is NEVER sufficiently obvious to all.

Open up your archives for my scrutiny and I will dig up "evidence to the contrary" of *your* excellent control and traceability.
