Quote of the week

Please remember, one of the big advantages of our open development processes is that we /do/ accept code with warty (but functional) interfaces now, and we can clean them up later. This is (IMHO) a good stress-reduction tactic, because each of us (ideally) should concentrate on getting the core algorithms right, and not focusing on rebasing code and smoothing over the same d*** merge conflicts over and over.

Yes, it's true that people think that a maintainer's only real power is to say 'no' in the hopes of forcing developers to fix everything now because they can't trust that a dev will ever come back with the promised updates, but I reject that 110%. I'm not going anywhere, and I /do/ trust that when the rest of you say that you'll be back with wart remover, you will.
