Really, maybe what you wanted to do, wasn't what needed to be done ??

No, I'm not, core is big enough allready, but we need core to be more
of a governing/directionshowing entity, instead of a poor workhorse..
Like it or not, there has to be rules (like in the real world out
there), and they should be followed. If we have X developers working
in Y different directions, we have lost the game. So if one want's
to participate, one has to follow the rules, simple as that...

I guess we should stop here as we are not going anywhere, and I'm
using valuable time trying to explain things, where I should be
producing code/fixes, which btw is considerably more rewarding than
this....
