This is a mailing list, not a airport. No need to announce any departure.
If you feel there's something better then go for your own faith.

The basis of community based software is pretty simple :
If you ain't happy you have two possibility
1. Use something else
2. Make a fork and do the modification you feel like needed

That's all the spirit behind GPL / LGPL.

No need to bring in politics and other ideas that only live inside your
mind.

Maybe you are still living under the ruling of McCarthyism ?

Thanks for the show, you seem very good at writing scripts so why don't
you now try to write code and fill in what's needed to make the software
meet your need.

I won't be the only one happy to see the new distribution that you will
be the master head behind. Hope you'll be reactive with bug fixes and
all the problems you expect other to do for you.
