"Linux is now not supported"

[Gene Kim-Eng]

In that case, the writer would be in hot water with me. I don't
expect my writers to be telepathic, but I do expect them to
be members of the development team for projects they're
working on, to attend project team meetings, be up on the
schedules, issues, etc., and to generally be part of "everyone 
involved."  

In cases where  writer resources have been in short supply 
(and when are they *not?*) and the rest of the development 
team has been unwilling to include the writer ("we don't have
anything for you to document yet, go away"), I have gone to 
the project manager, and in some cases, that manager's 
manager) to deliver the news that I was reassigning their 
writer to another project and that I would see who was 
available to support their project when they were ready.
