Um, no. a) I told people at DebConf that I estimated the work would take 6 months. b) Splitting the stuff out of the kernel is a precondition for the work. It's hard to implement something when the specifics of what it needs to deal with are unknown. c) The only thing separating the d-i team from you (generously), is their time, knowledge, and inclination to work on d-i. You don't get to accuse volenteers of this kind of thing when you're not stepping up to do any work yourself. It's a good way to stop having volenteers. > The solution requires a little stick to go with the carrot: > > "I'm sorry, but the fact that you dithered for eighteen months does > not mean the Project must now sacrifice its principles so that you can > dither some more." Your characterisation of six months of intensive development as "dithering" is absurd. I'll note that I consider this mail a personal attack on both myself and many people I respect, and leave it at that. -- see shy jo
