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 don´t use Skype at 
the moment, but I support a close family member who does, and well… 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 it… well… I feel reluctant about it at least.
