Yeah, but what if you have 50 folders, and you don't know which one the message you're looking for is in? I won't respond to the rest of your points except to say that this has all been argued out before. I'm far from alone in my opinions, but yes I must admit that they are just opinions. Again, I refer you to the archives. > I know about forking and maintaining patches > first hand (I had to maintain some against Linux > kernel - usually at some point I get tired and try > to slip at least most important parts upstream). Exactly. The problem here is that even if you had prepared good patches, the maintainers are too busy and/or too disinterested in your patches to take the time to even look at them (or, at least, they are very good at leaving people with that impression, hence this thread being rehashed repeatedly). > P.S. > My point was that users' forum is a bad place to > discuss development. Then your point is invalid; is isn't a users' forum, it's the developers' mailing list. -- Derek D.
