Hi, It makes me sad to hear that Marco is thinking of (or has) left. Please don't overly abuse maintainers and make them want to leave. Maintainers have to make decisions. That's what they do. I wrote up some boilerplate on this that I plan to point angry bugzilla reporters at: http://pobox.com/~hp/features.html It's easy to underestimate the impact that one's emails and comments have on maintainers - in the mails I included from Linus, you can see that it affects even him and that he's thought about it a lot. The constant stream of criticism can wear people down. Unfortunately, addressing all the criticism leads you straight into bloatware - so any maintainer with a good conscience soon starts to get a little burnt out. I'm glad to see a list of concrete issues and discussion of them. That's the beginning of evaluating the real rationale for each feature, looking at root problems and all possible solutions instead of just the easiest hack. Havoc
