I'm not stuck with what I know. The reason why I use the email workflow is not because "I'm stuck" with it, it's because I've tried every approach out there, and they are *all* inferior. You tell me of an approach and I will tell you all the ways in which it's inferior to email. If some people want to use Gerrit, and/or Patchwork on top of email, that's fine. You can use inferior approaches if you want, just don't force the rest of us to stop using the superior approach. Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
