Martin,
I think discussing things like off the email lists does more damage to
the community then it would if you were to be more public about these
opinions. Are far as I am concerned, you have nothing to fear from
exploring these ideas and other people might benefit greatly by your
experience.
Sage is not going away (It should not go away!) and I think the Axiom
community needs to deal with how it should interact with Sage in the
future.
Regards,
Bill Page.
