OK, to that end, let me say, Thank You. I've been on the receiving end of
the free software movement for a very long time. I also happen to be
reasonably happy with what I have been given.

I do however disagree with you here. I'm simply suggesting that when you
keep the process closed, you divide people instead of bring them
together. You have witnessed an instance of this with your current
policy.

Either way, I hope this new appointment is an improvement to GDB, and to
the MI interface. I look forward to seeing some improvements.
