Stop wasting time and REUSE what is already there.
If you cannot be respectful of others on this list, please excuse yourself from
the discussion.
Respect needs to be earned and is not there automatically. And I don't see
anything to be respected yet. Peter is perfectly right, that starting to
rework a mature and existing system without real need and without
downwards compatibility is a dumb idea and wasted life time.
And people saying that all the existing stuff on trac-hacks and elsewhere
isn't really needed and can be dropped are insane. One of my Trac
installations has 25 own site specific extensions and 50KB of code. I
guess many other installations have a lot more specific stuff.
If Javier really wants to improve things, he may fix issues, improve
existing code. And if there is a big need for database abstraction, then
he can start make patches and patches and step by step integrate an
abstraction layer. Thought I don't expect that to happen, because in this
case he would already have started sending patches. The people who start
with talking never get valuable contributors in my experience. Thought I
would be happy to be wrong for the first time. We'll see.
