He already does use sourceforge. IMHO, if people already use a tool (A),
telling them to actually use that tool correctly is a Good Thing(A+).
Telling them that there's a better tool out there, for some metric of
"better", is also a Good Thing(B). However, people tend to use different
metrics...
I might also have told him B (and I probably will do that, next time), but if
for the problem at hand the solution A+ is just as helpful as B and
significantly less work for the maintainer, then advocating B _instead_of_ A+
is a disservice, IMHO.
Just explaining -- again, no hard feelings taken or intended.
