Yes, I remember the discussion we had. You have to forgive me for being a 
developer: I have an opinion on how it should be done; which technical 
solution is the best. You claimed that your solution was better, I 
disagreed. No consensus was reached and no majority pushed your solution. 
Matt didn't step in. The existing implementation stayed.

I don't see any particular strange about this process, it happens all the 
time in the open source community. Did you really expect me to remove my 
keyboard implementation and replace it with yours even though I did not 
think it was better?

Now, if you believed that your implementation really was/is better, you 
could have maintained it even though we did not initially accept the 
patch. If I remember correctly, we even offered you a separate Subversion 
branch. If users really preferred that implementation, it would sooner or 
later get enough supporters so that we could replace the existing one with 
yours.
