The veracity of this statement can be easily measured by performing a
simple test: diff the gnuarch 1.2.1 and Bazaar 1.4.1 trees. If the changes
are few minor UI changes, then Alfred is deserving of respect and
admiration for having the guts for calling it the way it is. If the
changes on the other hand are complex and involve nontrivial work...  I
suppose if the discussion gets to that point that there can be a
discussion about which of the following labels could apply for him:
disingenous, incompetant, twit, discredited.

Some of those terms would be dependant upon how much Alfred has
contributed to gnuarch. How much of your code is in the codebase, I
wonder....

I agree in spirit. This conversation is academic _at best_. Bazaar 1.x is
no longer in active development; Gnuarch has taken the parts it liked and
set aside the parts it didn't. This is well and good because it proves
free software works.

Anyways, I think its awesome that Arch is moving. Andy is doing a great
job and I encourage him to keep up the work.

James
