And Irina Uzikova promised stable feedback:
First of all, I want to introduce myself. My name is Irina Uzikova, and I am responsible at Microsoft for working with an audience of developers. So, if you are connected with the development, and you have any questions or suggestions, you can always email me at iuzikova@microsoft.com, or to the address of our group devtlz@microsoft.com. I assure you, despite the huge number of letters in my mailbox, not a single letter remains unanswered.
