Yes they now have a full-time community guy, he introduced himself on the developer's mailing list a few months ago and we've not heard from him since.
I would have thought the Due release and the huge delay would have been a prime example of where such a person is required, to pour a little oil on the rough waters and at least keep us as informed as possible.
I realise and agree with the (perceived) reasons we've not had any technical details, but the total vacuum on the PR front I don't understand. I've now spend a few $100 on LPC stuff and although I may get a Due and port what I've been doing I may not as well. OK no big loss I guess 
but how many people have wandered off to other platforms for the want of a few forum posts?
