It's really a matter of efficiency.

I have extremely bad experiences in the past with the
unethical behavior from people like Mr. Bourdeauducq and
Mr. Lozinski. Such people have there own hidden assumptions
and agendas (and frequently, misunderstandings).
They all claim they want to contribute, but in reality they
want to change the project in fundamental ways to their
liking.

That is such a waste of energy, and I have not the slightest
interest in repeating such discussions. I believe the fundamental
concepts behind MyHDL are very clear and open. Nobody is forced
to like them or agree, but if you don't, the ethical path
is to leave and start your own project.

I am *not* at all saying that is your case, but you have to
understand that I want to resolve these matters quickly.
Asking rhetorical questions that are impossible to answer
(by someone that obviously likes MyHDL) are not constructive
and make me wonder about your goals.

To remove doubts, you could perhaps tell a little more
about yourself, your experience, past projects, etc.
