The same for me - I don't trust Dave.

The same as Dave,
for example a commited an inclomplete and dangerous
port of fudforum, he wants to put complete new stuff
(email, calendar) into 0.9.16 - where a feature freeze was.
Also Dave has crashed the phpropuware.org server by
forgetting to run lilo ...

This list is much longer ...

The difference is that dave always did big bad things ...
and always is hacking on me who did small things that
bring the project a step ahead.

I remember that you have aknowloedged to import a new contacts backend
that was not completly tested after a feature freeze.

Thats correct and I have told fips to mail something about the changes,
because without this no one would know - also I told him that
this was not a good idea ...
But when it works and is backward compatible is is in my eyes not such
a big problem it head. I agree that discussiong an api change before
would be best - and thats what I told fips.
But this is different from fixing bugs in php or xhtml code as well
as adding docs.

The same for you.
