    In general I agree. But we all have noticed bouncing the same ideas ever
    and ever again in a circle on this list. I at least have the feeling
    that code helps us to come to the point. It kind of forces so...

    Look at the actual amount of code... I can barely envison that changes
    are hard to apply. And the waste will be very limted...

    Hey Darren, how do you get people to comment, if you don't tell them ;).
    Honestly, I am the closed-source guy and I have so often been told that
    this is the real strength of open source. Timely and (massive) peer
    review - oops how am I sounding ;)
