Maybe because we don't see one another, there is sometimes scant regard for the feelings of others on this list, and I'm sure this loses developers.
Yes, I have been told that this has happened on the w32 side.
If the logical thing to do is remove MULTI_KBOARD, and therefore the MSDOS port, I'm sure that after discussion Eli would see that. The outcome may well be the same but it would be reached in a much more agreeable manner.
It is a bit said that two good efforts, one from Dan and one from Eli, clash. However it is also natural that such situations arise within a complex system.
I think that both Eli and Dan deserve our support here.Trying to give them that might help avoid situations like this in the future.
