Hi. Are you sure that the platforms team should communicate with the users so actively?

Yes, sure, this great contribution in the paces of development of the project.

It just seems to me that this is just waste of time cause the Feathercoin team has a lot of other important things to do.

On the contrary, constant interaction with the community helps to choose a correct vector of development.

Do you think the users are fully competent in such things? Should their opinion always be taken into account?

The product should be focused on buyer, however, thats the team who makes the final decision. Dont worry.
