Oh great, now there is poison on slashdot:

Let's not fork, shall we?
From this post:
"The latest attempt of Massimo Del Fedel satisfied all requirements set previously for the long standing bug 421, and his optional engine seems to work fine by all Wine quality standards."
The issue is that it doesn't match Wine's quality standards (for architecture).
This Elektroschock guy is hilarious. What post did he use to demonstrate "the dissatisfaction of core developers with the arbitrary project governance"? http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2009-May/075844.html Chris responding to Max responding to me. Who here is the "core developer"? Chris doesn't appear in the WhosWho page on the wiki, nor can I find his name in git log --author. That only leaves Max, who's best work continues to remain floating on bug page #421 without being committed.
For what it's worth, I agree with Chris. Someone needs to document how the DIB engine architecture *should* work, and then Massimo and <insert next guy to pick up DIB engine should Max lose interest> will know how to proceed. I believe we're closer than we've ever been to having a fully-working DIB engine, and I'd love to see real effort made towards getting it upstream.
