Thinking further on what I've said, I'm no longer sure that's true. I do think that at *some* point, the feedback from the non-packagers, negative or irrelevant though it might be, needs to be requested and considered. Maybe now isn't the right time, but it needs to be done at some point. Until then, I'll try to avoid adding to the noise.
