First, i was not the first one to mention this in this thread. Second, all
this problem started back then, and as you may remember or not, the result was
that i was very seriously insulted and almost quited all debian work back then
because of that, and because of other things like joeyh, Kamion and vorlon all
falling on me with no concertation in 6 hours interval about some really minor
mistake i made after spending a whole week of full time work to get the
powerpc 2.4 kernels ready for sarge.

Since then, all innocent joy i had in working on debian for almost 7 years
died, and i never was able to think about debian without some serious
biterness, and each time i tried supering that, i found Frans on my path,
being condescending and borderline insulting, believing he knez more about
kernel packaging than me, and denying any kind of knowledge and competence.

Never have any of those involved back then showed the less regret about their
actions, or at least never told me so. They all felt they where justified, and
indeed so justified that some of them repeated the same offense every couple
of months since then.

So, this is really an issue which started with the Vancouver mess, altough it
was a colateral dammage.

Now, you cannot say that Steve's presentation of the vancouver discussion,
which was done in secret, without any kind of consultation to those involved,
and all you know, so you cannot say that Steve was a masterful communicator
back then, and frankly complaining about my communication problems is not
something that Steve should do.

Indeed, like bullies targeting a solitair child, and making him their
scapegoats for over a year.
