Performance, FMs, BETA feedback are all covered in the Bug tracker which keeps a 'clean' view of the problems without them becoming an argumentative thread. That's where change requests should be posted with supporting data - or just vote on an existing one to get it further up the list.

The FMs are well known and where there is a Bug tracker for a FM the historical data is given. I'm sure the devs know all this data, I think they just got it wrong when they changed the FMs. I was a bit concerned when they named one person as their source for the data (no disrepect, I don't know him) but they do have the actual historical data available.

Like the messed up Spitfire throttles I expect them to get it right in the end and it may be that the FM programmer was only allowed a limited amount of time on it, pehaps he is mostly working on BoM now but they do need to adjust them in CoD asap. As Kwiatek said, he is not likely to be the person tasked with improving graphics performance so FM changes could be done as a task running in parallel with the major problems.
