That's a wonderful comment, but it is not what John has caused to
happen the last N times. I am not joking about the whole 'crying wolf'
problem. I do not believe John any longer has the right to force an
indefinite delay and that is essentially what has happened to just
everything I've ever tried to do in SMP land.
I don't expect things to mesh perfectly but I have said on more then
one occassion that I do not have a problem working with people to
fix compatibility issues. I do not believe that such issues should
prevent a commit from occuring, especially not if the code in question
is sitting stale in somebody's tree for months. It is an inappropriate
burden on the person who IS actively working on the code in question
to force him to wait a week for every single commit, every time.
That is why I made the commit, and why I feel I have a right to make
the commit.
