i had the impression bo did most of the flaming himself but you're are of course right that it is better to prevent situations like this. it would imply though that people might need to sit on large patches for a while until others had time to review that being said. with complicated features like this there is always the possibility that one discovers that things were not optimal to start out with. so in the end it might be better in relatively small projects like lyx to be a bit permissive with new features and adjust them when it turns out that this is necessary > because its pity to lose devs in this way. sure, but note that it is bo's call entirely. no one asked him to leave (i certainly didn't), so in the end i don't see how his leaving is a logical consequence of changing the embedding scheme apart from him being unable to live with compromise. edwin
