With all due respect, because I know you come with the best of
intentions but, how is the above related to *anything* in this thread?

Hasn't this thread digressed enough to throw pacemaker in the
discussion just for the sake of it?

I don't mean to come off harsh but seriously, let's stop trying to
save the world in one thread and, instead, let's try to focus on what
the real problem that is being solved is and how we can do it.

The "to DLM or not" discussion was moved to a new thread (renamed from
this one) and this one should be used to discussed *cinder specific
issues* and hopefully come up with a solution - that Gorka has already
proposed - that would provide a better story for Cinder in the short
future.
