You'll also notice I directed my comments to Koen's reply, not yours.

Since we're on the subject though, I do believe there is marginal value
in asking someone to rebase a single patch you could have just as easily
downloaded and applied yourself. I am respectful and protective of
people's time and in this case I think there are better ways things
could have been handled.

Overall though my main objective was to avoid these "Please rebase on
OE-Core????!!!!?" type messages and I think we've figured out a way to
do that.

We have many different people involved with the project with different
personalities and cultural backgrounds. Open source projects should be
as open, inclusive and friendly as possible in my view. We do have some
participants who get put off by the form of some of the replies on list
and would prefer not to get involved in what could potentially become
"flame war" type discussions. I'd even personally like to avoid them to
as they kill my productivity but sadly my role means I cannot.

I am happy to listen to people's concerns and do what I can to improve
things where I see opportunities. I only received comments from one
other person about this specific thread and they have responded on list.
I have received many different comments on the general topic from
previous similar threads though so I do have an idea of some people's
feelings on this topic. I happen to have chosen this moment in time to
try and resolve the issue. I don't see an problem in any of these
things.

Cheers,

Richard
