I'm afraid the linked IRC discussion has disappeared from the web and is not on archive.org - in any case, mailing lists are the place to hold open source discussions, both so that it is archived and to avoid "select inner group" false consensus among the few people who happen to be awake and hanging out on IRC at the time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
