Frans lording over me, and saying stuff like : no, you are not allowed to work
on that until you have my approval.
The last iteration was when on debian-kernel i was trying a very very trivial
patch for rootskel to recognize /dev/hvc* as serial consoles, and Bastian
asked me to add the /dev/ttyS* thingy too, and i mentioned to Bastian that he
could as well add it too, since he had svn access and i not, then immediately
Frans piped in angrily saying : That would not be appreciated.
I also clearly dislike how Frans is treating me, everyone is claiming that i
have the right technical knowledge, but i need to get comments like the above
from frans all around.
This whole mess was a social problem, and the only info i got out of it is
that Frans felt i didn't respect him enough, but he sure as hell is not making
any effort to be respectable.

Maybe, but it is a pain ...

The problem is that i am the only one making first steps, and as long as Frans
fails to recognize his own responsability in what has happened, it will never
work long term. But then when i say that, i am considered a whiner.

Well, its the fourth time, and i see no prove that it will ever change.
