I'm prepared to discuss technical benefits or drawbacks of each of these approaches, but these arguments - can we trust programmers or can we not? or will anyone at some time in the future break it or not? Sorry, I am not a psychologist:) Personally, I would _exclusively_ consider technical arguments. Of course, things like "clean and simple APIs," "proper separation / layering" etc. are also important, but even they already can become difficult to discuss and are already on the border between technical issues and personal preferences... So, don't know, in the end, I think, it will just come down to who is making decisions and who is implementing them:) I just expressed my opinion, we don't have to agree, eventually, the maintainer will decide whether to apply patches or not:) Thanks Guennadi --- Guennadi Liakhovetski, Ph.D. Freelance Open-Source Software Developer http://www.open-technology.de/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
