You probably can't answer this, but...

Is there anything we can do to assist with untying the hands and/or 
un-gagging the mouths? Besides being patient, of course.

I can't speak for those who have been more...vociferous in their 
ranting, but I doubt that many of the shouts have truly been directed at 
engineers. I think they have been more aimed at the "project", which, at 
present, is a black box (e.g., where does Google end and OHA begin?). 
Again, not speaking for anyone else, I apologize if the Android 
engineering team feels persecuted due to the communications lockdown and 
our reaction to same.

In many ways, we only rant because we care... :-)
