And it's much easier to discuss code that was committed than ideas in the air. When I've committed changes I thought might be controversial, I've always discussed them on the list, and indeed have backed out many of them before release (or sometimes, after release, because complaints only came afterwards).
I did my best to anticipate issues, but I often fail, and I can't read minds. Complaints that come a year later are a year late. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Fascists divide in two categories: the fascists and the anti-fascists — Ennio Flaiano
