First, my tirade was not intended to be as such.  I wanted to pull the
patch because it was incorrect and I did not want anyone else working
on it while I silently trimmed it and made it better.

that AJ understands why the code was pulled and that this happens
frequently with a project this large.

No, it doesn't. Requesting your code to be pulled is a serious matter,
and a major break of the trust that is necessary for us all to work
together. You can't do something like this and expect it not to have
consequences.

It was already unlikely that you would get any of your patches in, based
on their technical merit, but now even if you managed to make your code
acceptable, I wouldn't put it in, because I can't trust you not to make
me pull it out again next time you get mad at me.

And I agree with this decision.  You are technically "the keeper of the code" and I have on more than one occasion transgressed this unwritten rule.

However, I will still post patches for comments in Wine Development and subsequently release them to the LGPL/Wine in Wine-Patches so that others can work with them.  I feel that is only fair for what I have done.  Is that acceptable?

This seems to be the method used by others, however I have been known to be massively incorrect in the past, and I could be wrong now.

If posting them to bug reports is the preferred method I will that instead.
