could you please try to not interpret things in Daniel's mail he didn't
say? He didn't tell anything about his intentions to communicate about
amd64, but just that he doesn't like it if private off-hand remarks
are cited in public. And, if this communication was really private
(and I have no doubt about that, as you didn't disagree with this
statement), I can understand Daniel perfectly well. Please accept that
most people doesn't like to get private communication cited in
public, and I definitly would stop to give private remarks to somebody
who might cite them in public.
So, please reconsider this situation, and consider what you would do
if somebody cites private remarks of you about amd64 in the public.
Would you be happy about that?
There are really a lot of things I'm not entirly happy about (and I
have often enough spoken about things I'm not happy with), but that
doesn't mean that any action is allowed.
Cheers,
Andi
