No, because users know nothing about our state of development. David, can you produce patches -- by yourself -- that fix the title-markup-spacing thing within a month ? If yes, then I'm ok with rejecting Mark's patch. If no, then I say we accept the patch and move on with life. > I just want to state (for the record), that I think the > points David has raised are important ones. Yes, they are. I expect that they'll be addressed in GLISS 2. > I didn't want to start a war here (and I don't think I did), but > I wanted to expose and confront what I saw as a problem.

I say we should push your patch, get 2.14 out the door, and start GLISS.
