It was a personal singular "you", although I actually never meant to 
become personal at all, sorry. I think my second sentence somehow 
clarified what I wanted to say: There is noone as vocal about 
packaging style in general as you are about the use of CDBS.

Sorry, I never meant to agitate at all! You are right, this discussion 
should not be on a personal basis.

Yes, of course. CDBS is widely used and accepted. It is just that we 
wanted to agree upon a packaging style that we as a team can recommend 
to new contributors. Most team members seemed to prefer dh7 and then 
it was *you* who pronounced to leave the team whenever dh7 became 
mandatory. From then on it somehow felt like "you against the world". 
So I don't think it was our (i.e. Reinhard's and mine) fault this 
topic focussed on your person in the first place.

No, please let's stop it and focus on objective matters. ;)
