I'm really hesitant to jump in here, but I think it's warranted.  As a 
(somewhat) impartial observer, it appears to me that this discussion has gotten 
a bit out of hand.

I know both of you guys personally, and pretty well.  I know you both have the 
interests of the Subversion community at heart, and are both trying to make 
things better.  I appreciate that, and I'm pretty sure everybody else here does 
too.  I also know you both can have pretty strong views on what is Right, but 
that neither of you would intentionally give offense especially over something 
as trivial as a navigation bar.

Let's just accept the fact that stuff happens, both parties have good 
intentions, and then move on.  If we're interested in creating a better 
community, let's do it, but please just give the other fellow the benefit of 
the doubt.  You both have a lot of respect in the here; don't drag yourselves, 
and the other guy, through the mud over something that relatively trivial.

Thanks,
