What are you talking about?  I said that I still believed DW_OP_piece
was an important feature for GDB 6.4.  I haven't complained about your
struct value patches because there was nothing wrong with the patches
themselves.  (Although I have gotten testy with you for not explaining
what you are doing as you go along, as other contributors try to do.)

I don't think i18n is an important feature for GDB 6.4, because unlike
DW_OP_piece, we don't have an external "deadline" for it.  And marking
up the text in a hurry does eventual translation no favors.

I second Eli's responses to these paragraphs.  I also second his
questions - all five of them.  And I'm within a hair of following his
last suggestion.

You've been increasingly rude to your fellow GDB developers for the
last few months.  Currently every active global maintainer outside
of Red Hat is annoyed at your behavior.  Doesn't that suggest anything
to you?
