Ok folks, calm down everyone. I think that we have to find a solution
Actually I'm surprisingly calm. Don't know why. :-) I must be getting old. I was hoping not to write flames yet. Sorry if it sounded otherwise.
[quite fitting analysis of status quo]
IMHO the only reasonable way is to _start_discussion_ on a u-boot developers' mailing list, so that larger design decisions are done only after having them discussed on the list. At the moment we only have a users' list. I'm thinking about something like the RTAI development model.
Hm.. Is that really a good reference? Honestly, RTAI tends to be a little bit chaotic from time to time. Also, I think multiple lists tend to be confusing, and even needlessly cut off users that might have valuable contributions to a discussion.
Would it be a compromise when Wolfgang gives write access to Marius and Rob and they promise to do major changes only after having them discussed on the list?
Yes, and that's all that we ask for. Well, not quite all: all maintainers have to give that promise, of course.
Best Regards, Marius
