Dear all, I have kept calm in this debate until now, but since this is getting more and more ridiculous, here is my position.
I think (and I actually propose herewith) that we should release LyX 2.3.0 now, without the Windows installer. It is unacceptable that one single developer holds up a major release while refusing to accept (1) the majority position (actually, the position of _any_ other developer besides himself) and (2) even the release manager's decision. It seems clear that Uwe holds the view that he is the only person who knows what Windows users want and need, and how the installer has to look like. I am sure he has reasons to believe this, but under this condition, I do not consider the Windows installer a part of this community project, since a community project requires that developers accept (1) and (2) above. Since this is an open source (and GPLed) software, Uwe is free to release "his" installer somewhere else, in the shape and form he consider "right", and he does not need to bother with our "unqualified" arguments. With all due respect to Uwe as a person and as a developer. But we cannot proceed like this. Jürgen
