Maybe that was the case many years ago, but things have definitely changed over

MUP = Mindstorms User Panel. A dozen or so months ago, LEGO invited 4
Mindstorms enthusiasts to be part of a group to participate in product
development. If you're interested in contributing, look for the LEGO Mindstorms
Developer Program at http://mindstorms.lego.com/.
Hope that helps,
