Once more, to make it really clear: This is about specifically
attacking people. The very thinly veiled excuse of making it about
procedural issues is just a distraction. If you want to critize that,
or much better, help improve it, I'm all ears. I'm not accepting
backhanded sleight of hands. Again, all you achieve here is making a
solid case to get you expulsed from X.org.

Yours, Daniel
