In the end, I think Peter is still a positive force for OpenOCD
as he is quite good at review codes and OpenOCD has
effective leadership as in Spen and Øyvind who can drive the
project forward.

I think Freddie is a good and effective release manager. So I hope
he will not be discouraged by Peter's comments. That is why I think I
need to speak up against Peter's ideas of project release which will
not do any good for OpenOCD community.
