Erm... I had more in mind a simple and quiet discussion between developers.

I would certainly not use such a passionate wording.

I agree with Racke: Soji does an excellent job. I just wanted to 
introduce some stability for administrators, not blame Soji. If Sympa 
stands and improves since three years, it is thanks to him and I'm sure 
everybody agrees with it.

And I'd really would like him to carry on improving the Sympa code base.

I just think it would be easier for everyone to clarley separate 
improvments from bug fixes.

Cheers,

David
