"everytime"  might be an exaggeration, as well as the "unilaterally" (we
agreed some time ago in the release meeting to allow updates of the
dictionaries after feature freeze) and it is also well known, that the
people doing most make the most mistakes ;-) but I don't want to
continue the dispute about this point, I take this point as taken.
But I want to emphasize that the contributions of Rene almost always
were of high value for the project and especially for the Oracle
representatives in the release team. We learned a lot although it was
from time to time difficult to get his points at he first glance. And
finally, after the "gstreamer case" we followed his advice to do our
(commercial) release on a own branch. So finally no more conflicts of
interests in this area any more, this will avoid these kind of
discussions in the future.
