I just had the following reply today:

  No, I won’t do that. I was trying to use Ubuntu several times and I was always founding some bugs. I was trying to send the feedback about the bugs using launchpad – but u can’t just report the bug. First, u should register, and u can’t log in using OAuth or OpenId accounts.

  I thought that this indicates that they don’t need feedback very much.

Not having OpenID and requiring yet-another-account is a more blocker towards getting feedback (one more step, one more barrier). I'll ask a fairly I hope, simple, question:

  1. Is full OpenID support blocked by politics? Or,
  2. Is full OpenID support blocked by technology/time?

I'm asking, because if it is (1) blocked on politics, then energy can be put towards that first; thus allowing the latter to happen.
