I completly do agree with every single statement Joao has made. It could 
have been kept on private mailing list. From what it looks like for 
people like me, when-possible contributor and every-day-user, It seems 
to be just a simple "work" discussion, like those ones which usually 
happen one day or one other in everywhere there is work getting done by 
more than one person, a cooperative working-style discussion on what is 
good and what can be done in different (hopefully better) way.

Accepting and interpreting suggestions as well as suggesting on a 
non-rude manner is something that everyone one day fail, in their busy 
heavy days. No big deal, It is human nature.

Anyway, everyone who follows cvs-all_at_ is very thankfull for what David 
has done everyday in the system, and probably will appreciate a lot more 
if Mr. Xu decide to keep doing the good work, improving what he has 
noted himself that should be improved and work together with others to 
improve things that more than one brain could probably get better 
results than only a single one.

Hope you stay.

Osho in one of his books usually say that apologizing is a difficult 
decision, apologizing honestly is even more difficult and rare. And do 
not accepting the honest apollogies is a severe decision and as such, 
comes with a lot of consequences.
