Maarten, I agree with Petr and Larry. This is a really bad decision that will hurt rebol much more than it will help it. This is the most disappointing news I have heard regarding rebol since I have been on this list. I would certainly hope that these kind of decisions do not continue---that every time someone comes up with a really great script, something happens behind the scenes to kill it and remove it from circulation. We need these great scripts to help us learn to program in rebol. We need rugby to help us better understand rebol. I just can't see the existence of rugby hurting rebol. However, I can see the death of rugby hurting rebol a lot. This decision, I believe, is a big mistake. I sure hope you will reconsider.
