Marty,

I respect your willingness to coordinate the contribution of patches to gPXE, 
and am glad that you have now found a role that allows for you to contribute 
in ways directly connected to the actual code, besides the numerous ancillary 
tasks you have kindly taken upon yourself in years past (such as Linuxworld 
organisation, GSoC, OSUOSL hosting, etc).

For me, working cooperatively with our growing team of developers means 
participating in technical discussions, and aiming to reach the technically 
best solution to any problem encountered.  It means a meritocratic approach, 
rather than a purely democratic approach.  I do feel that your process 
changes hinder rather than help these goals, but I have stayed out of that 
discussion precisely because you always made it clear to me that you were not 
intending to hinder my own development efforts, and I trusted you to keep to 
your word on this.

I will compromise on respecting your process where it affects anyone else's 
contributions, despite my reservations, but will continue to push my own 
changes directly.

Michael
