I will call bullshit here. Public record - and my public and personal 
IRC logs - say that Tom argued that there were bugs in the 1.2.x process 
but that they should be expected and that in fact considering all the 
moving parts involved things came out not so bad.

None of the parties distinguished themselves when things melted down, 
that's certainly true. But monday morning quarterbacking like this is 
pretty bad, Stephen. Let both of those sagas die, please, and let's move on.

The way I read the situation, we've got two solutions now - the Bazzaar 
code and tla 1.3 series. People can choose which implementation they 
prefer in addition  to these sub projects of GNU arch cross polinating 
one another.

Can we please stop navel gazing so much around here?
