I would be concerned if company roadmaps overtly affected the community
roadmap.  In general, I find company roadmaps to be very short-sighted
and quickly changed based on the demands of specific users/customers ---
something we don't want to imitate.

We do want company roadmaps to affect the community roadmap, but in a
healthy, long-term way, and I think, in general, that is happening.
