Peter, All the points you made have merit and I do not refute any of them.
Stephan resigned his committership to defuse a very heated situation. Since this all happened on the PMC list this is all I shall say. Right now its a real PITA for Niclas and others to have to apply these patches since Steve is by far the most active committer. However the current situation is perhaps at best maintained as-is until the board decides upon Metro. I would rather see the smooth approval of Metro rather than deal with a reaction to seeing Stephan commit again: he himself would probably want the same thing. If Metro is approved, Steve can be a committer there where he can maintain and support the community best when isolated from Avalon. This keeps attacks and infighting to a minimum. I cannot afford another shitstorm as LSD so accurately referred to it: -1 Alex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
