Thanks for starting this. A great idea, and you have shown admirable moderation and good sense in the way you prepared Devialet for it.

The premise is great and I signed it but I don't know how it will cause Devialet to change? How many signatures does it take to make them look bad? How many signatures does it take for them to publicly apologize and address the issue?
A few months from now their response to AIR issues is going to be the option to use DLNA with their PRO line. You can upgrade for one easy payment of $$$$$.
A more aggressive malicious attack on their public image or class action lawsuit are the only option left in my opinion. Both causing our already much devalued amps to lose even more resale value.

Got this nice reply on twitter today:
Dear friend
fixing AIR is on going. We are aware of some issues and won't let you this way. It just takes some time and we need to adjust our priorities. I hope you understand our position.
Kind regards
D
Obviously it's never been a priority over the last 2 years.

That is one of the reasons why people get really upset - talking for years about fixing things (Air etc.) or providing new features (like Dialog compatibility with Expert line etc.) and never delivering ... trying to soothe people by telling them about "we are working on it - and "now" are changing priorities" and so on.
It's incredible they still didn't change their strategy - as this is harming their brand & reputation. They have to face reality - people are expecting a ransparent / open communication about what's going on in a company.
