I don't consider this to be representative of the past season of
development. I don't consider anything about this discussion to be
representative of the past season of development.
Peter (and everyone else) has compromised on any number of issues.
With respect to the recent discussions, Peter expressed his concerns
regarding bugzilla, a bug fix, and mirroring.
WHY are people jumping up and down regarding -1 votes on procedural issues?
So what? He has an opinion and he voted/expressed it. Are people
forgetting that -1 votes are only binding on code? Otherwise, majority
rules, and he's entitled to his opinion. The nice thing is that he also
explains his concerns, immediately opening a discussion on the subject.
On the bugzilla issue, I see that several other folks, including Aaron and
Charles, agreed with his concerns. From what I see, a replacement approach
was suggested that addresses the issues. Plus we all may have learned
something from the discussion.
On the mirroring issue, he is concerned because I'm still waiting to get
some feedback that I think I need to make our mirroring actually work. He
hasn't (and can't) say no. He is simply saying that if we don't get the
answers that we not delay the release while waiting, not that we should not
do the mirroring.
As for the bug fix issue, he is frustrated by delay (as are we all) and the
perceived lack of support/help. But that doesn't mean that he isn't open to
discussion and compromise. I have never seen Peter closed to discussion or
compromise.
C'mon guys, shake hands or something.
