I've been going by the information I see and the contents of the meta-ti
README. Reading the above it looks like much progress is being made,
things are changing and I really do appreciate that happening!

Great, thanks!

Well said and I agree with you! :)

The trouble is Koen keeps doing this and nobody in general replies. The
lack of a reply can be seen as to condone what was said and its
certainly leading to people getting more confused. I think a response
was appropriate.

I also do not mean to undermine the progress being made on meta-ti. I
hadn't heard much for a while but it looks like things are moving
forward and that is great to see.

Cheers,
