<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">My reason for this is that we made a choice last year after a good and organised process involving everyone. I think a community decision should only be revisited if there is a large consensus that it causes problems which can't be solved by other means.</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">In the present case, i don't think there is such a large consensus, quite the contrary.</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">It seems that the kexi problem can be solved (seeing Adam mail). As for the Words problem, i don't think it is that severe that it requires challenging a community decision.</p>
