I don't really see that there's a compromise here at all.[1] There are two sides: proud of duration of support, and not proud of duration of support. If there are sufficient people involved with the project who are not proud of the duration so that the statement is false, it should be changed. If not, then it should not. I accept that you and Filipus are not proud of the duration, but from the responses to this discussion, you appear to be in the minority. I don't belive further dicsussion is going to convince you or Filipus to be proud, and it seems unlikely that I'm going to suddenly become unproud myself, so I'll stop responding to this issue here.
