it.
That's what I feared.  Bye-bye LyX.

I hope the situation is not as grim as it may sound.  Try talking to other
developers on the LyX list, not to Matthias.  Yes, he founded the project,
and is working on KLyX, but I don't think he has any final say on the
matter.  I believe that the other LyX Team are a lot nicer and a lot more
reasonable to discuss with.

In particular, I think Matthias's interest in KDE means that he is more
concerned with making Debian's position over the licensing issues awkward
than with making Lyx accessible...

Sorry. Quake or Doom are silly and stupid; they certainly aren't fun.  

Normally it's silly to assume your own experience is everyone else's.

In a case like this, when it is blatantly obvious that a very large
number of people find both games fun, it's absurd.
