I'm a supporter, nonetheless.
What I think would be a very good idea is at the beginning & end of every eBook posted to Smashwords, put in the following....

Please let the people in charge of Smashwords know that we (authors and readers) would prefer to have direct ePub uploading instead of the meatgrinder. This would allow us (authors) to create better looking ePub that work better on a wider variety of ePub capable devices/apps.
