I don't want to disregarded any valid concern. On the particular subject to which your remarks are related - your example seems to me to off-the mark. There were no incompatible version changes. What was happening was a process of the team here recasting the identity of Avalon to bring it in line with its developer community. That involved reorganization of the web-site and is in part that subject that you are addressing above. Another part not so clearly stated is the role of the framework as a featured product of the community. > This has to stop. If you're saying that Avalon cannot change its identity then I guess we have a blocker on our hands. If you're saying that I may not critique a faulted argument - then we have another blocker.
