Long story short, a comment from Dago68 has been censored (deleted) in DW Weekly
http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20121224
It was a clean complaint about no DW reviews for final ROSA Desktop.Fresh 2012, released right a few days ago.
There was no point in deleting that comment and instead of give reply (might be something like: "Yes we'll do it next time" or similar), or leave there the comment for others, they preferred to hide the shame.
By censoring the comment also give the feeling that it touches a painful area, with regards to DW unaccountable distro ranking.
The usual mischievous person may imagine that distros have to "fund" DW in order to have a [suitable] review.
We don't
Nevertheless we limit ourselves to report the facts and let the readers to draw a conclusion.
PS>
Well, on the contrary I'm a prejudiced person, and then I took the shot. You never know, I thought...
