Years ago I tried to file bug reports for IPsec to Apple. No feedback
ever, and lots of "developer" spam email.

If Apple cares, they can contact me to convince me the process changed.
But from what I'm hearing, if you're not doing millions in revenue, you
don't really get their attention whatsoever.
