[Nel] Re: pgserver + cli_c in a single process

        Hi,

        Got your message on IRC saying:

just from the description in the email though, I don't think I'll be
integrating the whole thing into CVS. I was planning on handling the
issue rather differently... but it's great to have the patches until i
finally get around to implementing the planned stuff

        but was too slow to respond and you were gone ;-)

        I'd like to advocate for integrating the patch into CVS for the
following reasons:

        - It is small and can be trashed when you decide to implement
          things otherwise. Even better, we can discuss your ideas and
          implement them ourselves at a later time.
        - I want to mature it so that it becomes stable and still minimal
          and this will require some work in the next few weeks. Doing so
          on the basis of a CVS + patch will be much harder for me since
          I'll have to fight with CVS conflicts every now and then.
        - There is little chance that people try it / discover problems
          if only provided as a patch somewhere.
        - I'll need to contribute to other aspects of PICOgui and when 
          submitting patches they won't apply to the CVS because of my
          patched version.
        - The PICOgui + patches scheme is more than likely to
          encourage people to fork PICOgui merely for code
          maintainance convenience, which is something I don't want to
          see happen.

        I sincerly hope you'll see the rationale of my request. If
something is really bothering you with the current patch, I'll make sure
the problem is solved.

        What do you think ?
