I'm sorry Thomas, but today I was really upset. I was having
everything working with irda10 yesterday night, and I had to spend 3
hours today to get back in the same state with irda12, and this ordeal
didn't put me in good mood.
Actually, you may have seen that I've been quite hard with the
poor Dag.

Don't get me wrong : on the good days, there is a lot of the
stack working. If Dag was not trying to do everything is parallel,
things could be good.

You really believe that ? In any Linux company you would be so
overworked that you would not get a chance.

It does, and I plan to use it seriously. 2.2.13-irda9 was
quite good for example.
What I will do is to get one release working and stay with
that one without trying to sync with Dag.

2.4 is not far away, and there is lot's of testing to do on
the stack, some parts are virtually untested (and some even
uncompiled...).

Yes, but a todo list with priority, and allowing people to
vote on the most requested feature. Implementing Ultra was nice for
me, but I could have done it alone, and I think most people were
waiting for PyObex.
So : put priorities.
