Hi Andreas, I'm interested in the technical content of this exchange, but there is no place for telling the maintainer of a project that his objection is without ground. He _is_ our ground, and I ask everyone to respect this. If you believe otherwise, we're always on the lookout for future maintainers to take up the baton. So, while I like the appeal to consistency, if Eli objects, then I object, and you should feel obliged to resolve our concerns -- in terms of the issues at hand -- rather than stating they are baseless. Doing so will not move the discussion forward. -- John Wiegley GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2
