But if a "brutal overhaul" is required, then the bar is too high for me. I just don't have the time. If I may, I have the feeling sometimes that you expect the other contributors to have the same level of involvment than you do. You are extremely dedicated to the GDB project. That makes it very tough at least for me to match even 10% of what you dedicate to GDB... -- Joel
