But why should they maintain communications with them? Don't get me wrong, it would certainly be nice of them to, but I don't see how someone else doing unaffiliated, unrequested, unguaranteed work based on my own work creates any sort of obligation for either of us.

I figure that it would be a good way for the world's most valuable company to give back to their core userbase, and it would certainly be a step in the right direction for helping developers like me who are highly skeptical of Apple's commitment to building a robust developer ecosystem. They need all the help they can get, because it's starting to look less and less viable for me to switch to a Mac as time goes on. It will be interesting to watch how they reconcile pressure from developers over the next few years.
