I was replying to Jeremy's irrelevant commentary, and his statement that we
should accept "asap".

100% response to Jeremy. My original comments weren't rude, just
uncomfortable in the sense that any criticism is. Why aren't you talking to
your own team member about the relevance of their replies?

This was why I stopped bothering with Samba. The rude, irrelevant attacks
from people who were supposed to be helping out. Those of us who wanted to
resolve things couldn't do it for the noise created by people who didn't
understand why 100% compatibility was useful, or why we needed X feature.
Their world didn't require it, thus no one did.

I was trying to make a point about why the timeline and expected
deliverables are useful for developing implementation plans. As always with
the Samba team, it reduced quickly to irrelevant snipes and off-topic attacks
about things irrelevant to the subject at hand.

Since nothing has changed and the only useful development in Samba has 
stopped, I'll remove myself from the list and thus kill the topic.
