Like it or not their fates are intertwined and it's in the interests of both for us to get along at least minimally. Which we're actually sort of doing. John doesn't want gschem to get busted because he's been burned by changes in the past. He's welcome to sound the alarm over anything concrete that he knows may cause breakage. We can object if his criticism is too vague of unfairly singles out pcb for criticism.
