Well, it makes this website as much of a faff as Google themselves.
Google hardly give any information as they seem to believe people communicating with other people outside Google is some kind of sin against humanity.
We can't even discuss the OTA status because of a few people, reminds me of Nintendo who drop support for something due to a small number of people causing problems. Doesn't exactly help anyone.
Who says you can't discuss it? There are two threads with very dedicated topics. This one is about issues with installing an OTA. Then there is one where the URL's reside. Some people tried to create "new" threads to put the OTA URL's in(they specifically said that in their first sentences, which is why they were closed), but a thread already exists for that.
If you want to discuss any actual information about pending OTA's, I'm sure that'd be fine.
Except people don't seem to be discussing information. They talk about what GOogle must or must not want...which...since they don't work for Google, they don't know.
Plus they spout insanity like "Google wants to keep this from us" or something. It's a corporation. Decisions are made by business case. They don't have the time to even care enough to want to hurt whatever segment you claim they are neglecting. It's a business. You roll stuff out in stages because doing it all at once makes it difficult to identify possible issues, as well as makes it hard to mitigate any possible problems that may arise. Even those who work with a physical distribution or logistics model(not with software) should fully understand this. It's basic logic. Some would say common sense, but the problem there is that common sense is apparently removed from most participants on any forum.
But if you have any info to share on the OTA's or just want to ask questions about them(and not establish your new thread as the catch-all for anything OTA-related), I'm fairly certain it wouldn't be an issue.
