That community uses and improves the free alternatives developed by the community instead of encouraging further bad actions in paths that is unlikely to ever result in anything meeting the broad community goals. > They have #1 and #2 but aren't bothering to release them to us. I honestly do not believe they have any better manuals or datasheets than released.

From a community perspective it would be very desireable that AW employees were more active in the community, but I fully understand that this is not an easy task to accomplish. Most AW employees have access to internal information, and likely bound by restrictions in both contract and cultural difference.
