Hi Ced,

Actually, no, it wouldn't, not for Cygwin developers (which this here
mailing list is all about, after all). Developers like you and me (and
like everyone else on this mailing list) know how to compile the Cygwin
runtime and how to test it, how to roll it out on our staging systems, and
how to fix any problems or at least how to fix them after asking a few
well-informed questions on this mailing list.

Mind you, there are many things in the Cygwin runtime that I do not
understand, yet I feel comfortable enough playing with patches posted to
this mailing list (or to `cygwin-patches`), so I am definitely not the
most proficient partner when it comes to developing Cygwin. Just the same,
I am confident that I help out where I can, and so can you.

I did notice in the past that your emails often seemed to convey a
different mindset (probably unintended by you?) in that they seemed to
suggest that you weren't willing to do your part in developing Cygwin (and
hence maybe those messages shouldn't have gone to `cygwin-developers` at
all?). This is an open source project, after all, not a paid product where
you can demand or suggest features. Instead, you're welcome to participate
and help out to the extent of your abilities. Maybe my impression is
totally off the mark, and you did intend to participate in the development
of Cygwin, though it is a bit hard for me to see that... yet?

> Institute Pasteur

Oooh nice! In my previous career, I visited that institute twice, I think
Jean-Yves is still there, as is Spencer. If you see them, say hi from me
;-)

Ciao,
Johannes
