I think what Alexander was trying to say was that, given the heated discussion last time, people are now reluctant to restart another discussion. From what I remember, it was very hard to understand why such a large number of messages was being created for such a small detail. Topics, such as these, pose a high risk of making your FreeBSD developer experience more painful than it should be. And since I believe a lot of people here like to work on FreeBSD, sometimes these types of discussions are avoided for a long time just because the developer(s) doesn't(don't) want to make their FreeBSD development experience any more painful. I believe that if we keep insisting on the same bikesheds for a long time, developers will defintely go away. So, there's no ``stanza'' or whatever, just human nature. Regardless of what I just said, the topic keeps coming back and that's a clear sign that a framework should be developed and, possibly, in a way that appeals to both parties. -- Rui Paulo
