I know I don't have any right to complain here, since I haven't contributed
the development. However, since the new (old?) kernel by Asger has so many
essential features, IMNSHO it is a real shame that 1.0 kernel which is
something to be nuked ASAP survives in the devel branch just because it
has a working painter on top of it, while the other kernel doesn't have
one. I'm not against further developments on 1.0 branch, though.
Since the majority of users are satisfied with 1.0 releases, IMNSHO (again)
the slow development is not a sufficient reason to demolish the other branch.
