It is only valuable if it can be used, which is my point.

I am sorry if this has offended anyone, but I am not the only one who
has been aggressive.  One of Kai's first contacts with the project:

http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/phpgroupware-developers/2003-04/msg00138.html

Early bug reports:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=3382&group_id=509
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=3374&group_id=509

Failure to take note of feedback:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=4016&group_id=509

I could find more if people would like.

Yes, this is part of the problem with Kai's (and probiz's) attitude
towards the project.  They decide something then try to impose it on the
project.  All subscribers to this list should be aware, the project
works on a collabrative model.

This may be the case, but this must be a decision of the project, not a
patch contributor.
