Actually, that's one of the joys of open source. There *doesn't* need |
| 16 |
to be *any* justification *whatsoever* for Roy to do anything he likes. |
| 17 |
After all, that's how many projects start out. Someone decides they |
| 18 |
want to do something and they start working on it. |

We're all volunteers here. We work on what we want. If you (or anyone, |
| 21 |
this isn't directed at you, specifically) don't like it, you're more |
| 22 |
than welcome to try to convince Roy to not do it. I'm sure he takes |
| 23 |
large monetary bribes. Otherwise, shut your pie hole or fork the |
| 24 |
current baselayout yourself. Anything else is just you trying to |
| 25 |
control what Roy does with his completely volunteer time, which is about |
| 26 |
as likely as me flying a cheese grater to the moon. |
