Like I said before (and Ryan correctly referenced), I intend to step
aside and let him run the show on our end. I will not propose
alternative plans, nor continue the discussion.
This is my personal choice, it has not being imposed on me. I think
there is too much subjectivity involved in my participation and this is
hurting the ability to make progress.
Ryan and I will work together in implementing pluggable views for
longwell2 and we plan to use his code for this, therefore fresnel. I
expect a great deal of information on the status of things to come out
of that exercise.
