I'm sorry if the impression I gained from your emails didn't match your intentions. However, if my memory and impressions haven't completely failed me I can say that I'm in agreement with JMarc and John's arguements over the last week in particular.
My greatest concern isn't so much that your greater skills are leading development away from what the rest of us can handle (or our compilers) but that major development is still occurring in the trunk when it had been planned for almost two years now that after 1.2.0 the trunk should be kept stable (apart from the temporary instability caused by merging branches) and non-trivial development would/should occur in branches. I'm also concerned that the recent burst of changes in the GUII framework in the trunk would have been better timed after John's branch was incorporated. Allan. (ARRae)
