Hello KatolaZ,

I don't know Daniel and everybody else in this mailing list. So this is
my own personal opinion.

I don't think Daniel meant to force everybody to agree on his approach.
It is good to have volunteer like him who provides the option for the
users to express their opinions. However, I think it should be
understandable that he definitely cannot implement all the requested
combinations, especially the ones conflicting with his approach. That is
most probably due to his limited volunteer time that he is willing to
spend. So I think it is fair that he wrote to withdraw it and offered
someone else to take over what he is currently working on if most users
disagreed with his approach.

Cheers,

Anto
