I think it was mostly a matter of people waiting for those types of 
answers (what can we do? what is allowed? who is going to tell us what 
is kosher?)... and sometimes, in these situations, it's best for the 
people who are interested to forge ahead and start exploring/testing the 
boundaries without asking someone to draw those lines for them. Asking 
for forgiveness rather than begging for permission, etc. :)

And as Rick said, without any pressure from the community, the priority 
level drops dramatically. If people really want it, noise gets 
attention, generally.
