        It is how I feel - _slightly_ nervous; one might conjecture
that if people all expressed their feelings we might reach
understanding and closure somewhat more quickly.

        Of course.

        It's hardly veiled - I feel slightly nervous - it expresses my
concerns, based on what happened with libgnome[ui], not really the
matter of freezing: changes were neccessary, but mostly of open
direction discussion with contributors.

	I feel that while the way forward may now be resolved - the
inter-personal causes have not been - of course, perhaps my feelings
are totaly invalid; but hey. It would be good to work them through and
get them cleaned away.

        Regards,

                Michael.
