Of course it's subjective. I don't understand why everyone thinks every policy has to be so rigid and set in stone that a computer could enforce it. There are always exceptions to the rule. Ultimately the developers can do whatever they want. Sometimes they do put in betas/pre-release stuff that I don't think they should. But a lot of developers use it for daily use... so if something is bothering them it's bound to get updated to fix it. > Anyway, I don't feel I misreperesented anything as I had a re-read of > the previous thread.

Or maybe we just know that we disagree, don't feel like continuing to argue, and felt like we'd explained our position fully... Then again some threads don't get decent replies to them... But I don't think the abiword thread was one of them.
