I disagree, none of the ones against is inexperienced.

False. I am the one who wants to have the people who
actually write the
code have the reins, not you.
Now you say that I am not a developer, because it serves
your goals of
discrediting me. Even if it were true, it would not have
any bearing
on this discussion.
May I kindly remind you of the following words from Reimar,
which you
conveniently choose to ignore because it serves your
interest of
painting me into the evil overlord corner:
Before anyone flames too hard: I asked for Diego to
publish these
numbers.
How come you are allowed to call me "not a
developer" to discredit me,
but I am not allowed to publish commit statistics (at
Reimar's request)?

Your >50% number is taken out of thin air and I am saying
nothing of
what you suggest.
I prefer for everybody to realize that they are getting
worked up over
nothing and don't create problems where none exist. I would
also prefer
for people to not insist on rules just for the rules' sake.
Rules that
everybody bends when they see fit anyway, not lastly you.
Michael, please realize that continuing this into eternity
will not lead
anywhere. Let us quit the flaming, we are not doing anybody
a favor and
we are both getting carried away. I have no interest in
continuing to
fight with you. The only direction we can go from here is
down.
Diego
