The above, even if already said, needs repeating. Especially about transparency.

I don't completely agree about the removal of roadmaps. I think they should still be present, but
<ul>
<li> transparent
<li>influencable by the community (and not only be some product manager)
<lI>allow for contributions that are not on the roadmap.
</ul>
