Indeed, I didn't want to put too fine a point on it, but a lot of this
whole discussion could have been avoided simply by reading the initial
thread in the IPMC vote thread, where, for example, we explicitly provided
a link to our Ant Rat results file, which would have avoided the "NetBeans
should really consider to use Ant Rat" and "NetBeans really should explain
how it deviates from the norm" type of discussion -- because, again, we
provided all that info directly in the initial vote mail.
