I think this is an ad hominum attack.
I have explained some factors that are relevant from my point of view,
and that explain some of the behavior you don't like. I have already
said several times that the implementation might not be up to the
mark, and I apologize for that. If you want to interpret the current
state of affairs as being 0% attributable to a difference of opinion
between reasonable people about what the behavior ought to be, and
100% due to laziness or cowardliness on my part and the part of the
other people involved in these patches, I cannot prevent you from
doing so. However, I think that judgement is inaccurate. More
importantly, I think it's a nasty sentiment which is inappropriate on
this mailing list or in any other civilized discourse.
If you think that the code is bad, you can say that without commenting
on my character.
