And that's basically why we lost Bernard.

Simply by looking at the technical pro/cons. If the patch doesn't
cause any regressions, someone is ready to support it and it helps
cleaning stuff up it can go in for me. You have certainly added stuff
I don't need / use, but so what - As long as it doesn't interfere too
much with how I'm using BR it's fine by me.

John certainly seems to be serious about his work.

I think that's basically the only way to do it with a project without
a benevolent dictator.

Come on, just add -r to your grep. You already need to search
package/, toolchain/ and target/ anyway. That doesn't sound like a
real issue.

Bernard several times asked you to fork and do the atmel stuff in a
seperate branch. I still don't think that's a good idea considering
the limited amount of BR development ressources we have.

Let's stop coloring the bike shed and move on to bigger stuff.
