It may well be that I'm overreacting here. If that is so, then I'd like an honest feedback from additional members in the team. You must see that with your history I learned to treat your vetoes with caution because of the many times you changed a -1 to a +1 later after a long discussion and a lot of power spent. There's tension between us two and that's bad. ATM I don't know how to resolve it. I tried to be as open as possible and to address any concerns you have. You have repeatedly brought very good points and for that I'm glad but you had to withdraw several vetoes after starting to realize that you were wrong and I've also seen behaviour from your part that I don't like. For example, starting sentences with "Mein Freund, bla bla" and then later accusing someone else in a different thread of being disrespectful. I didn't say anything about it then. (Also, apologies to Renaud for not speaking up. I didn't want to pour any oil into the fire at that time.) I tried to overlook that, but I have my limits. I sometimes wonder if you're not more of a blocker in this project than a pusher. I don't think I'm the only one thinking like this.

I'm not fighting this. I've had no compelling reason and spare time to do this, yet. The current issue is no reason for me to write anything to the WG. Jeremias Maerki
