mth drew the right line — nobody's entitled to Enhance's financials, but customers who built businesses on this are entitled to communication about product direction. that got buried under 70 posts of speculation.
the frustration isn't about OpenClaw. it's about having zero mechanism to influence priorities. right now there's only one: be a large partner (fair enough, that's how the bills get paid) everything else is forum posts that may or may not land.
three ideas came up that nobody connected:
gmakhs — plugin/extension framework, community closes gaps without waiting on core
nick-a — sponsored dev, pay for a roadmap item, ships to everyone
nhybgtvfr — community poll, one item at a time, voted, released, repeat
same idea at different cost levels. all three convert frustration into capacity. any one of them changes the dynamic from "we don't matter" to "we have a lever."
the framework is already in Approved. the sponsorship needs no architecture. the poll takes an afternoon.
Adam not asking for headcount or financials. just: which of these is feasible? that answer alone does more for confidence here than the next 5 releases.
