I am really sorry to hear your leaving. I remember you starting off awhile
go taking over a package from me. Debian-devel is sometimes really hard on
people. Perhaps I am too. There is an issue here of communication through
e-mail that makes understanding difficult especially cross cultural
barriers. Nicolas (like me) is probably not a native english speaker and
might accidentally have hit some emotional buttons or not followed some
ways of communication that you are used to. Americans have this
expectation of a level of nicety which is often difficult to understand
for people from another culture.

Thats for sure. If we just could agree some more instead of fighting each
other. Please stay and continue the attempt to understand one another. If
you have some vision on how to do things better then submit a package
doing just that.
