I think you'll be able to ask him directly about where the problems
exactly are. However i don't think he ever thought about spreading
misinformation - he surely has proves behind his words.

But remember, that in original it was _private_ mail, not intended to be
reason for further, detailed discussion (at lest not atm, as he's
_busy_)

The point here was to more-less explain why I will give a chance to
another free tools, not kaffe, not gij (with gcj) - but SableVM.
It appears (if you belive in what he said) - that there _are_ reasons
to make such choice.

I only hope you're not trying to blame me for not choosing "your"
solution? ;-))

Don't forget to contact Etienne directly (later).
