Now, if you do that will you share? ;-)

Not quite. This holds only for full CLASSES not patches. Patches finds their
way much easier. This measure retains the robustness of the fox core. It is
good to know that there is some STABLE, even in development stage, core you
can step on and do your stuff, for which you are the only responsible. It
might turn out a bit stiff( I was a bit exaggerating in my previous mail),
but hey, since it runs fast and furious I am happy. The profound reason I
like this measure is that it prevents people like ME to contribute
carelessly ;-D. Track down old threads and you will find interesting
discussions on the subject, with strong arguments from both sides.

Most certainly. I'll post it in
