Your constant complains have been noticed. Please refer to the right
mailinglist with the right attitude. In addition to that I highly
recommend sending patches over constant ranting and keeping away people
from doing actual work.  Communities like PHP are here to WORK together
on a problem and the people who work on it (or any surrounding noteable
projects) discuss it. If you don't have anything to contribute write a
blog entry about it, but internal is not the right place for you rants. I
am not sure if I have to get any clearer about that. Thank you.
