And you are of course a scarce resource too and I have noticed you
have had difficulties to find time to support ECB as you want to.

It is a common and serious problem and one we must fight if we want
free software to succeed.

The diversity hits the users too. As I have said I recently had a
discussion with a long term GNU/Linux user who jump off to Windows 7
because the quality of the mid-level library was too low on GNU/Linux.
The key factor was the diversity (too many libraries doing the same
thing) which he thought creates this problem.

I think solving this is urgent - and very, very difficult.
