and right you are.  I don't know what the policy is these days, nor
how stupid do I sound with this advice from the sidelines, but to
avoid drowning in discussions it is IMHO advisable to do the
following:

* don't publish patches, many people are too lazy to install them.
  instead work in a branch of the main CVS repository.

* don't worry about style and policy until you are ready to merge.
