Yes.  Fact.

For anyone else following at home, this is where I disclosed
that I had changed my mind:

I reserve the right to discuss, learn from past mistakes, and
change my mind.

Well, that's not the "last we discussed this" I was referring to.

We last discussed this in person, this last January, in the
team meeting which you attended as well, where (among many
things) we discussed what would need to be done to move
along with the GDB-in-C++ project.

I never tried to hide that.

Adding more info to the wiki, like e.g., pointers to
existing branches and patches would be much more useful than
this "you said I said" finger-pointing.

I've extended it now some more with some info I wanted to add,
but hadn't found time to yet.

Thanks,
