Did the software development discussion start a bit here?

Would you like to support an other "talking style" on a conference
like in Berlin next month?

It's a pity.

I am curious on useful responses.

Thanks for another bit of constructive feedback.

Thanks for your opinion on this issue.

I chose a specific patch granularity for this proposal.

Will such a combination depend on any more agreements between the involved contributors?

I hope that you can give similar ideas a second chance somehow.
