Your opinion does matter, and I'm still trying to sensibly discuss the
reasons why they might make sense. Let's look for James to start those
threads, if he hasn't been completely off-put from contributing at all
by now.

I didn't even see the commit until after my first reply (for some
reason it appeared in my mailbox late), and I've had no discussion
with James about this that you haven't seen. I was kind of surprised
too, and I think it was just a miscommunication.

Yes, he has more paperwork to do, a point I made in this thread and on
IRC. Rather than let there be any confusion, I just removed it from SVN.

Personally, I don't care either way if the work continues, it's not my
itch. But I want to encourage contributions that make sense.

Just take a deep breath, enjoy the weekend, and let's revisit it later.
