Hi Pedro, I think you confuse blackmailing with something much simpler and = pragmatic.=20 One needs to asses how things work in your project for real before = investing=20 too much time.=20 Adrian was contemplating the fact that none writes code, so I had some = code at the hand with with I can see how things work around here.

I am not particularly interested in promoting ideas and gathering = consensus. I am not a=20 politician. I happen to believe that translating some utilities from the = base to libraries=20 is a very valuable addition to the project.
