I just had been decided that the Qt port was necessary for a 1.3 release and as nothing else is being worked on there was some expectation that the Qt work gets done somehow.

That "endless fixing" does not happen too often I think. But yes, it happens, and I had been bitten by it myself... The problem is to make sure people adher to things like coding style, "patterns" etc. Allowing everybody to commit stuff would mean a lot of extra cleaning work because people just don't care. I don't think our problems have to do with CVS access... Andre' -- Those who desire to give up Freedom in order to gain Security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one. (T. Jefferson)
