All three statements are wrong. Sorry, but polictical correctness does not
make the world different. It takes a lot to let me say a special person is
dumb, but ideas are dumb and time is wasted a lot. Understanding that
helps a lot to reduce it.
Read e.g. http://www.zdziarski.com/blog/?p=66 to understand that not every
contribution to OpenSource really is valuable and not everyone helpful.
See section "The Philosopher" and next one for reference to this thread.
You clearly disagree with Javier
Actually that is untrue as well. I have no strong opinion regarding that
topic. I usually never have even for my own projects. I only analyze the
postings here and the related coding efforts and for me this looks
like "not worth the effort". If a suggestion to change central components
comes from a valued contributor it is usually worth discussion, from a
newbie usually not :-) A newbie in most cases can't understand what
changing a core component means really, even if he is a very good
long-time programmer.
... Javier is a fellow contributor ...
He may be. Possibly. In future.
I wish him all the best, but changing core components is usually not a
good start.
