That's fine. This isn't a fun space and many folks I have talked to have
purposely stayed out of it so as to not be involved. I think some folks
refer to it as a tar pit.

That's fine if you aren't convinced, I am long ago.

Sure since that is what folks would like you to believe so they can
continue to not do the work.

Well I'll tell you, having to deal with third party ci folks day after
day gets mighty lonely as noone else will touch it with a ten foot pole.
So that is nice to see you post to the mailing list that you support

I agree with you on this point, despite our best and continual effort
some folks fail to be able to meet expectations here. Is it possible
they don't feel they have to?

If you are asking what they think they should do differently, then I too
am keen to hear what they have to say for themselves.

Thanks stef,
