This sounds very well and also very easy to say until the point *you*
have to spend those weeks fixing the *actual* problems. This isn't
something virtual.

For me - and I believe for many Harbour users - it's much more important
to have a dynamic and portable core than maintaining heavy / plat spec
libs with a lot of effort for historical or personal reasons. I've even
deleted
*my own* contributions in the past for similar reasons. We have tons of
things to do anyway, so we should focus on what's relevant and stick to
our original goals.

The other thing: What is the problem with maintaining a lib _outside_
our repository? IMO _nothing_. In fact, we have very good quality 3rd
party libs with active userbases, development teams, so I don't see why
GTWVG couldn't live the same way. Granted, it won't get *automatic
and free maintenance* from us, Harbour developers, but everyone who
is interested can jump there and contribute, and we are here free to do
more important things (or at not getting blocked by it), and GTWVG is
free to decide about focuses, quality questions, devel decisions,
release cycles and methods completely independently from ours.

BTW, are you actually using GTWVG?
