Yes, I am quite aware of the appreciation from some maintainers of the contributions made by Andreas - my criticism is another which goes beyond appreciative maintainers. I do believe that Andreas' experiment *also* aims to go beyond appreciative maintainers, and that is the very reason he e.g. puts a very long delay on those experimental contributions. If I understand you correctly, you are reading into my criticism of Andreas that I am part of a minority in Debian that creates a hostile atmosphere by refusing to collaborate. That is not how I see myself nor my position towards Debian work. I think there is a lot of confusion in this thread due to choice of words more than intended meaning - from many sides, including mine. I hope we can reach an understanding - either here in this thread or perhaps in Brest. If you simply want to condemn me based on what I have uttered so far, then I find it quite sad. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
