Oliver, I am afraid, that we are "over-mentoring" Joel, especially if we
have different points of view about certain aspects. But I felt to answer
Joel after one day. To resolve this in the future, I suggest to continue as
backup mentor and provide technical help (about how to revolve errors or how
to archive this or that) and leave design decisions to you Oliver as package
maintainer.
