a number of reasons.
primarily the lack of support for code merging in areas that have zero or
negligable code difference.
i spent two weeks back in april using dirdiff to merge about 80,000 lines
of smbd and nmbd code into TNG. i thought that once this was done, i
would not have to do it again, as people would simultaneous-update.
within two days, andrew did some work on cvs main, without updating TNG.
the work took him one hour. i had to redo the merge process, examining
over 100 files, and it took me six hours.
secondarily, a lack of respect for my incremental coding approach, and the
fact that what i miss, others realise that it is too important to let me
get away with, and encourage me to do better.
overall, i have tried numerous approaches to achieve the goals i set out
to achieve. once all the means were exhausted, and it became less than
fun to continue finding alternatives or pressing existing ones, i took
that as a signal to stop.

that's why i'm not on any of the samba lists, any more.
