I don't think that's Jeff's position, and it's certainly not mine
(read my blog for my thoughts on issues such as this). I
think Jeff's comment just reflects the reality that not
all of our work is accepted into the original project we
diverged from, even when we submit it (which we
have done), and perhaps a bit of frustration about that.
