20 Maybe I'm just a moron (well, likely I am), but why are you two
21 posting this shit on the dev ml?
22
23 Conflict for a change, fine, carlo go revert it.
24
25 Crazy notion, but it's a one minute revert, yes it's not your mess but
26 it is your package and _your_ users, leaving your users hanging
27 because you're trying to make genstef clean something up screws the
28 users over.
29
30 The proper forum for crap like this is via taking it up with
31 QA/devrel.
32
33 Screaming about a change on the ml doesn't accomplish anything more
34 then making you look like a jack ass trying to publically embarass
35 someone you're pissed at; at least carlo has a reason, stephen you're
36 just being an asshole.
37
38 Further, Stephen shouldn't even know about a candidates failing, let
39 alone go stating it on a public ml.
40
41 Really nice one there; someone tries to help, deemed not yet skilled
42 enough to have access to the tree, and you're bringing it up as a way
43 to take potshots at genstef.
44
45 Further, you're taking a potshot at a dev candidate who via going
46 through the process was at least *trying* to contribute, even if they
47 didn't pass the quiz.
48
49 Carlo, go talk to devrel, stephen, go do your monthly mips stabling.
50 Meanwhile spare us the idiocy, and do something productive.
51
52 Screaming on a ml won't solve the conflict, just makes the screamer
53 look childish.
