I only read about ALS which is much less of a problem, since I can use any airplane with it and can turn it on or off at runtime without a problem, so as a user I don't have to decide up front. > I don't want to open the Devel List to find yet another storm with > Thorsten at the centre of it. > > And finally - I feel really strongly about this one: > > I don't want anyone to feel that they have to leave the project > because of acrimonious discussions on this list or anywhere else.

If you don't want a shit storm why are you happily contributing to it and siding with people who call others racist just for refusing a huge feature commit during a feature freeze? > I know this is unrealistic, but we should all be striving along these lines. > > I'm horrified that you have received hate-mail.
