Harold, I find it sad that you had to make this decision. I've just been absent for a little more than two weeks and was unable to commit patches - look what came out of it. I understand that the level of frustration among contributors has risen to a point that people are starting to use bad

FWIW, I read the cygwin-xfree mailing list archives from time to time, and I just read the [EMAIL PROTECTED] thread linked from /., and it looks to me like Harold was being pretty reasonable and was getting a terrible response. I followed the [EMAIL PROTECTED] discussion and the xwin.org and
