And why do you move parts of my message around?! To place your part of
the "answer" in the beginning, to look more important?

But, hey, why t.f. do you not just go and fix some bugs instead of
writing another useless message? Maybe beginning with your own packages,
or looking at some RC bugs?

Starting another mega-thread on controversial issue causes ill-feeling,
wastage of spare time and loss of productivity. And there are _always_
flamewars when something says "GR draft" or even postes a controversial
paper looking like a "good" GR candidate.
Or do you really believe that mega-threads help much? Do you really
think that Canonical/Ubuntu is more successfull because they discuss
more and let everyone publish its 0.02$ that everybody needs to read? Do
you really think that the explosion of redudant messages in mega-threads
is productive?

Exactly. That is why I am not going to release a half-done paper. It is
better to be discussed in a small circle. The GR drafts posted in the
last months caused something I wish to avoid - fscking huge flamewars.

If we get more important things done first - yes.

And from now, I will refuse to answer to anything posted to this
subthread.
