I guess Anthony doesn't know > what mediation means. A reason for the failing of mediation is that you seem to have no interest to work together with the people who have (not in a very nice way) removed your commit rights. You have kept flaming on public lists in the last few days, which is normally not a good way to get people to calm down. What you seem to want is some sort of decision that forces other developers to work together with you, not a mediation. Working together is not only based on technical stuff, but has also a social level. Your recent actions have shown that you do not understand about this, and I have to admit that it's probably better for the d-i team if they don't have to fight with you on a regular basis. The time and motivation lost in flamewars is more valuable than anything a single developer could contribute. Marc -- BOFH #448: vi needs to be upgraded to vii
