Hi Simon!
Let me just say that I found your response (and your response to my other
email) well-thought and constructive, and generally agreeable. However, now I
have some higher priorities (not GIMP related unfortunately) so I will
reply[1] to this email later when I have some spare cycles.
But thanks for a great response.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish

which says that when a developer says he will work on something, then he or
she means "maybe".

them are my own invention. Read at your own risk and take with a grain of
salt.

Chuck Norris wrote a complete Perl 6 implementation in a day but then
destroyed all evidence with his bare hands, so no one will know his secrets.
