Do we really want to only listen to the opinions of those people actually willing to make a fuss if they don't get their way?
We should. If someone isn't willing to make a fuss if they don't get their way, they don't really care in the first place, do they?
Ah, so the only people who matter are the immature children who throw temper tantrums while the adults are busy with important work? Interesting concept, although I can see how people who believe this would be tempted to act like immature little children, because there's the expectation that such behavior should yield good results.
The people who matter here the most are those that are hard-working, productive, helpful. The people who aren't whining like a tired baby on every mailinglist thread that they find disagreeable. This is a group of people that tend not to make their opinions well-known, but scarcity is directly proportional to importance here.
