"Get along with a significant portion of the group", does that mean be nice with Pierre-Alain Joye ? Personally, I don't really care if people are nice or not as long as what they do is well done. And I don't find Alexey's attitude unjustified. Most of the time, people reply to an attack by an attack. Did you ever go to an administration to return some papers and have the person behind the counter telling you they were not filled correctly and that you will have to come back later with an arrogant way ? > I know you're not new to oss development.
