These comments are flavored with personal negative feelings and a personal
agenda that have no place in a free software project. If your
hatred/angst/jealousy/whatever against or relating to LILO are this strong,
you need to completely step aside, allowing others to do positive work
_without_ your negative influence shadowing such. Your feelings, whatever
they are, whether they are "justified" or not, should not be allowed to
negatively impact a package's development moving forward.
It appears you are now jaded WRT LILO. That means it's definitely time to
walk away.
