I told you at that time how to do the merge. You seemed to believe it
could be done another way. Maybe you are right, but to me the way you
wanted to do it looked like much more work. I ran out of time.

I have told some times now that I am not interested in keeping the
patches. I have thrown away some because I do not have time for all
the merging.

I do not accuse you of anything. I am just telling how I see the
situation. Getting the thoughts behind the changes I suggest often
takes too much time - even if I write the first part of the patch.
Take for example the recent discussion about the display engine. There
was too many misunderstandings so in the end I thought it was best to
just drop it. Is someone is really interested I have left the
explanations already.
