You may remember when and why, or check the archive. So do we consider if a maintainer does not have actually enough time to do some change to a package (which was here from a long time, I even remember comments like 'keep it as it is, it works very well') must be droped ? > There are other packages that you maintain and know better because you > wrote their code, with which you will probably be more at ease.

That was not the problem here, and when I see something usefull and well proposed, I rather prefer to give the hand to a contributor (keeping my eyes on the stuffs), i.e. currently Dan is working on XSLT_Wrapper, because he needs to add new things to it. I do not have time to do it, but we have got a good and constructive discussion, that works well. And, last but not least, this package is in a ***alpha*** state, there is no consideration about BC or not. > Anyway, this situation is slowing my own developments with QuickForm > because I need to know which version of IT to use for the template > bridge I want to make.

So why did you not help Alexey to provide small patches without breaking BC instead of useless flamewar and private mails ? pierre
