I would be very helpful if we could agree on the above two points with a vote (and a summary, of course) before moving on.
Stefano,
Unstable blocks doesn't need a vote, and the template one is the result of unusually extensive mail discussions and also on a general agrement about the direction. Everything is in the mail-archives and I and others have written numerous summaries with vast references to the relevant writings. If you care to check the archives you can see that I and others had all reasons to believe that we did something that was agreed about and wanted by the community.
Obviously we don't have an agreement anymore and I'm not going to start any vote about anything until we have found a solution that we can agree about again. Neither will I continue any design or implementation activities in the template area until we can find a constructive way out of this.
What I have proposed should be rather clear from my writings and it is quite distant from what I'm accused to propose in your and others reactions.
Anyway, I'll wait for your and other critics constructive stated alternatives. An emmotinally over heated crusade against things that neither I or anyone else has proposed will not lead us anywhere.
I'll urge you and others that have constructive ideas about what we should do in the templating area to post your ideas. And please focus on what you want rather then what you hate.
I'll be happy to continue my involvement in finding, designing and implementing a good template solution that we as a community feel happy about after that.
/Daniel
