Oh look, I've been involved in Sage since mid-2006. This is the first major strategic decision with which I've disagreed so strongly, and the first time I've felt truly unwelcome on this list. It's quite depressing.
I sincerely believe the costs of the fork to the community outweigh the benefits. Probably no-one will believe me, but this whole kerfuffle started as a result of me trying some shuttle diplomacy to get the two projects talking. The personal animosities involved are quite astonishing. Hopefully my planned career as a mathematician will be more successful than my career as a diplomat. Anyway, forget it. Good luck with MPIR guys. david --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
