Flaming? I wouldn't call what I said flaming -- just expressing being
fed up with people complaining about completely unrelated things in
reaction to announcements.
It's quite the fashion these days to make that sort of remark, but it
makes me sick. And it shows a complete lack of understanding of the way a
large volunteer-driven free software project works: it is made up of many
individuals, who all work on what they find interesting, and any request
to reallocate effort from one sub-project to another to gratify the poster
is mere pointy-haired-bossiness. Fine, this subproject is of no interest
to Mtk -- what's the problem? There are tens of thousands of projects that
don't fix Mtk's bugs -- will he or she post a complaint with every
announcement?
If mtk is interested in terminal emulation, he or she should get
involved. I know it's an unpopular message these days, but it's the only
way forward. Pay up or submit patches but don't whine in the comments
section of a website.
