With a bit of furor over Zorin OS 16 Core... With the pressure for Zorin OS 16 Lite... Some Forum changes and everything else... I think it is possible that the ZorinGroup are feeling a hot plate beneath their feet.
It's a fine line between appreciation for what they do, in combination of irritation at what they don't do, I think.
You are standing in a long line of people and I, for one, am right next to you.
It is not that it is irritating, as much to some of us - as much is it highlights questions of Trust.
Got bored, and want to give them another chance. At least, brothers Zorin are active here xD That is what I want to see, their communication with the community. I think that is important also ( not just a quality of Zorin as a system)
