Harold, I don't buy that argument, as I'm sure anyone else who is developing features for Cygwin/XFree isn't directly commiting their changes to HEAD on xfree86.org. Thus, most people would have their own seperate branch from which they would submit changes to be merged into the main branch. I'm sure the fellow working on xwinclip has a local branch that he uses. The point is that for once we are having a lively discussion on this list and I don't see why a new list is necessary. Just makes life harder for everyone. It isn't like this list gets that much volume anyhow. Discussion is *good*, despite your contention that the only thing that should be said is "Here's the patch, what do you think?" Sometimes planning is necessary and getting input from the community vital to properly implementing a feature. I still don't see why you are so adverse to people talking about haw nice it would be to have x or y, especially when the discussion is serious.
