May I ask you to CC the important statements about the project direction
to the list? I'm following the discussion and did not find your letter with 
the things you "stated above".

I'm sure Helge makes a fair job quoting you, but still it would be easier -
and more fair to you - to get it from you directly.

While I'm totally agree with "API only" course there was another
thing (also brought by Helge Hess) where I agree less:

I understand your disappointment, but it can't be just ego.
Something must have not worked in GNUstep for them.
I think it's worth to understand what it was.

Thank you,
