I know :) And even if it were not the case, I wouldn't make technical
decisions affecting thousands of users around the world based on
personalities (as opposed to technical merit) of individial
developers.

The reason I'm making such a slow progress with integrating your
patches (in case of rss-import, I'm almost sure integrating will
involve rewriting at least 80%) is: a) sheer lack of time free from
day job and family; b) time wasted on Nitro and Rails; c) major design
problems with Resource class and the way it interacts with Message and
Template. I hoped I could do away with (c) completely by succeeding at
(b), but this plan failed. Now I'm doing slow and careful refactoring
instead.
