SL5B: Weak clarifications

On their bug tracking website Linden Lab declared JIRA issue MISC-1231 (“Missing Cultures & Communities from SL5B”) fixed, and the company published the “clarifying” blog post it had previously announced: “Any Resident can submit an application to exhibit”. What the blog post lacks is an awareness for how insulting the SL5B mess was for a large portion of SL’s userbase. Instead of “we screwed up and we’re deeply sorry” we get: “change has raised both legitimate concerns and misinformation from some Residents.”
To date it is still unknown whether the applications of kid avatar artists will be accepted or not. One kid avatar told me his idea would be accepted according to a chat with a Linden, but he has to change the name of his build – other residents who do not have the time and patience to pester Lindens with dozens of IMs still don’t know if they will be able to contribute. I myself applied for a build several days ago and did not get any reply until now. In my opinion JIRA issue MISC-1231 should not declared “fixed” until after SL5B. For now, my SL account stays downgraded to “Basic” and I will put my time and energy into “Kids5B”.
