The sad story of the em28xx driver

Well, let the past be the past. There is no point really to rehash all the old stuff, and to blame person a or person b or person c. I am sure the other people involved have their own recollections which may differ from your's (and memory fades, anyway.)
That's all water under the bridge. Some time, some sociologist may want to use that material in a thesis about group dynamics in open source development... (no offense to sociologists)

Let's just agree that you guys disagreed, and move forward.
