-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Alfred may take it upon himself, but I'm sure its done with "approval" as such. I think its important to focus on the good aspects and push those, so there's more of it. There's some aspects of steam I don't like with the way it updates, but I do think Valve are improving there which is why I don't feel too pessimistic, especially compared to some others.
I was fairly annoyed at the last update with segfaults, but to be fair it wasn't too long (relatively speaking) before there was a fix. I personally would just ask Alfred if there's any way when he's not around just to see if there's someone else who can sit in his place in that valuable space between server admins and Valve communication, it's in boths interests ultimately. I doubt its "no one else gives a crap", I'd guess it's more lots of people doing their own thing and focusing on that and just not thinking or realising. I think Valve will realise they messed up a bit with this one, test is a matter of time really, and see if they learn from their mistakes, if so I have no problem with the odd mess up, the majority seem to go well for me (although I rarely update "immediately" unless necessary, which is why I don't use many automated tasks, but manually start the automated tasks when I'm happy if thats not a conflict of understanding :)).
