Hey Tom,

thanks for the bug report, that's helpful. Also you raise an important  
point.

I think it's best for me to prioritise patch review, education/ 
coaching/mentoring, and architectural cleanup (design, code,  
documentation, developer and community processes), rather than  
churning out yet another bugfix myself. Other people need to be  
sending patches. So taking a page from David Roundy, whose recent  
"departure" from darcs has jump-started that project, I hereby announce:

I will not work on, and may not even read, any issue or feature  
request unless it meets one of these criteria:

- somebody sends a darcs patch, or
- somebody wants to collaborate/be mentored, or
- somebody pays me to work on it, or
- it is something that particularly affects and motivates me today

I will do a release as soon as enough blocker issues have been fixed,  
so if you want it to happen sooner, send darcs patches.

Thanks!
