Nobody does, I guess. Curt just seems to be a bit desperate about
defending his refusal of an 'official' GIT mirror here. Maybe he simply
ran out of arguments, so he finally decided to draw a black-and-white
picture and sort of imply that those, who don't share his (Curt's)
view, would be in favour of what we all consider to be the worst case.
In fact, the scenario that Curt is describing here has nothing to do
with the facual topic of the whole discussion.
Personally I count the cited paragraph as a regrettable mistake.
Sorry, I know that these remarks sound a bit merciless and are likely
to lower the chances to get an official blessing for 'my' GIT repo. Yet
I prefer to play honest and with open cards instead to chum up with
someone just for the purpose of becoming FlightGear's first 'official'
GIT maintainer ....
Regards,
Martin.
