Definitely. Note that I don't argue against enforcing releases on drupal.org when that's considered a good thing by the infrastructure people. (Personally, I try to release often enough so that *-dev releases shouldn't be required at all.) I was just speaking out against the statement that open source always implies responsibilities towards the user base. It sometimes does, and drupal.org can enforce rules that makes life nicer for the user base, but in general this statement does not apply, imho. That's what I wanted to express, nothing more.
