Because that is where we are at! Duh! If the PMC group (including Costin)
agrees on something then that should be respected. The fact of the matter is
that the previous proposals have not been respected and I'm standing up to
fix that.

Yes. I am.

Yes. I am going to tell you what what decided and what you should follow.

Fine.

Unlike Costin, I am fully against censorship and therefore am not going to
disagree with you. However, when something is *decided* and *agreed* upon at
the PMC level, it needs to be taken seriously and respected. This is what
you are *not* doing.

Open Source Software Development != Closed Source Software Development.

My assertion is that you are lacking a clue with regards to OSS development.

Then word your statements in such a way to make me believe that you do
understand. So far, you haven't done that.

Costin and others have no been providing any sort of support for others on
the mailing list. That is clear. Read the archives of this list.

Now, what concrete evidence do you have that releasing CVS head as 3.3 "will
help"?

You seem to have plenty of time to answer my emails.
