Alright, calm down.  Everyone is fairly frustrated at this point, but I
would reccomend that we take a few steps backward, take a deep breath,
and such.
SuperTux has gone a long way over these last few months.  I know this is
a huge frustration, and honestly, I'm a bit disappointed that 0.1 was
released without a level editor at first myself.  However, let's think
logically about this.
Ingo has done more than just valuable work for the project.  He has made
phenomenal contributions to the project, and anyone who denies that is a
fool.  But I don't think anyone is denying that.
However, we must keep in consideration the fact that this _is_ a
community.  As such, we should keep consideration of each others'
feelings and opinions.  And as such, a thing like a major release should
be well discussed within the community, to keep the community from
falling apart.
I'd like to point out that this is precisely what did not happen... and
precisely what is happening.
I understand why Ingo wanted to release this version at this time... but
shouldn't there have been more discussion than just "this will be
released May second, no matter what"?
Just my thoughts on the issue.  I'd really rather not see this group
torn apart.  I think most everyone will agree.
