I've been using cygwin since the '80s and reading this list daily for many years. I must say that I don't believe Chris is wrong. Many people mistakenly believe that any effort put in toward an open source project is good. At some statistical level that may be true, but at a practical engineering level it is false. By placing documentation and tools outside the cygwin distribution (and distribution mechanism) you create confusion, fragment management, increase likelihood of incorrect or out of date data, and generally waste energy. By failing to acknowledge this situation you further degrade your position. Chris is often direct in his communication. Some people read into this that he is being insulting, demanding, or domineering. I believe this is created by the reader from their own imagination. I appreciate Chris' style.
