Sorry but you know the one who insists to "kill" and wipe out everything he does not like is Reza. (enough mail threads on that)
Neither I nor others take his breathing space, he just prefers to breath and think in a small box excluding or even fiercly figthing (that's where things usually got personal from his end) other people's ideas. It was more than once he just committed stuff without a proper ballot. The most severe case ruined data by putting unsolicitated and unapproved class names in there. The only reason why the DDR client was not out at the time. And you see in Volkan's roadmap in the thread about his hackathon he submitted entire patches that Reza didn't even ignore since then. Nor coming up with suggestions for constructive people willing to help. So let's hope other new committer candidates aren't scared by that way? At least outside Apache you see every few months or even weeks some new clients arise. They rely on a trustworthy set of data that doesn't change just to please a single client, API or the person behind it. No proper Apache (or similar Open Source) project leaves a "scorched-earth policy" deliberately destroying parts of the codebase just because one or two team members don't like that part of the codebase, or can you name such a project?;-) We all know WURFL did that, but a key reason for our efforts that lead to DeviceMap is offering an alternative, not act the same way they did again...
