Dan, please stop this. All that Mitsuharu asks for is higher level of
quality for the code committed to CVS. I think it's a reasonable
request.
You seem to assert that when faced with changes which could
potentially break other platforms, there's only two possible
alternatives: either live with the breakage or don't commit the code
at all. But in fact, there's a 3rd alternative: learn enough about
those other platforms to make the code right on them as well. There's
even a 4th alternative: make the new code be conditionally compiled
only on platforms you understand and can test. All of those are IMO
better than breakage.
So I don't understand why you reject such suggestions as ``whining''.
Certainly, being the one who works on the code imposes some
responsibility on you.
