If you already said it, my not reposting it does not in any way invalidate it. > I am not advocating either way; however, you failed to address my point > about this community's resistance to change. If anything, you make it > by presuming that I am in favor of these particular changes. I'm not presuming you're in favor of anything or not. What point is there to address about resistance to change? I think people are resistant to unmanaged change and/or change that causes breakage. > We have not ignored them, but the rest is our SNAFU. I think they were largely ignored. To me, just plodding ahead while saying "I hear you, but I'm doing it anyway" and ignoring are pretty much the same result. When you say "our" who are you referring to? > How do you do development? Do you say: "I am not sure how I am going > to fix this problem, so I should not even start." I hope not. Well I think that depends on whether I'm doing development for myself, or for others. If I'm working on something that other people use, I would probably solicit an idea, or if I wanted to try something without, I would probably do it in a private branch. > I continue to be happy to receive complaints about the project, on or > off the list.

No one needs to address their issues directly with you versus the community at large. It's GPL'd code -- need I say any more. > Both of the individuals that chose to leave the community were given > ample opportunities to try and resolve their issues.

You can feel how you want about anything I say, that won't change what happened. > To the community: > > If you have a beef, you need to air it and get it settled -- or leave.

I am glad that you feel that you can take it upon yourself to decide who should be shamed and not for expressing their feelings. Please keep any correspondence in the mailing list. This is not a personal issue to me, so I don't need to handle it in private email.
