Not at all. Firstly, the "driver" (as you put it) was not at this=20 session, and in fact the installer was imported *before* this session, so= =20 the "driver went left" before people were even talking about it. (My=20 reading of the svn log is that the "one big root" was just part of the=20 initial import and not given a whole lot of thought.) Secondly, it was not a vote; it was more of a straw poll, and no strong=20 opinions were really voiced. Thirdly, no one was tasked with going off and telling Nathan the results=20 of it, so (since he wasn't there) I find it hard to blame him for failing= =20 to go and scour the entire devsummit wiki to see if something relevant to= =20 the installer might possibly have happened then. -Ben Kaduk ---559023410-417280847-1317062506=:882--
