Not a good start. What if I told you I started programming in the mid 80s? Do I still qualify?
But you have a problem. You feel attacked whenever anyone says something that you do not agree with.
Yes, I tend to be annoyed when people seem to suggest to go against what the majority of our collective users and contributors has regularly expressed they wanted which is: a single libusb, where bugs get fixed on regular basis, and where much requested features, such as hotplug support, do make it into a release.
If your suggestion wasn't that it might be for the best if libusb was split into 2 separate projects, again, right after we finally managed to undo the earlier split which the vast majority of all of us (users, contributors, maintainers) would really have preferred to do without, then please clarify.
Also, as you should know, most projects, that have the capacity, tend to go around with a development branch and a stable branch, which is actually also something we've been toying about, with a long proposed but yet to be implemented 2.0 branch. How comes you didn't mention something like that?
So yeah, I am flabbergasted as to why you would even *remotely* suggest to go back to splitting libusb, especially when your argument appears to boil down to one's subjective perception of stability associated with a name.
instead of trying to understand the actual problem
You can try to clarify how one is to interpret what you said earlier. Or you can go on a meaningless ad-hominen. Your choice.
