Having spent a fair bit of time within open source projects that companies rely
on, my experience is that those companies who need to hear such news have zero
interaction with the project and most of time don't even know the project
community exist. That conversely also means that the project don't know they
exist. If their consultants and suppliers, who have a higher probability of
knowing this, hasn't told them then it's highly unlikely that anything we say
will get across.
