  "Remove inline playback controls from the application, as discussed
on IRC. We gathered that this
   feature did not provide great feature value to the product, and
instead added redundancy with a
   third (!) toolbar equivalent. It also increased complexity in an
already crowded playlist layout
   configuration UI."

"... as discussed on IRC" : How can you even pretend to have had any
discussion about this without including th person whow rote the
featere in question? I call BS!

"We gathered..." : I would very much like to know who "We" is.
Especially since this commit mail was also forwarded to the amarok
mailing list, giving the impression that this is an official and final
Amarok decision.

"...this feature did not provide great feature value to the
product..." : Honestly, at this point I could not care less about the
actual arguments for this decision. I am mainly pissed to no end that
I was not asked. It just might be that I actually have a plan or a
reason for adding this stuff.

In the past when people have asked me how Amarok was run as a project,
I have always answered that it was a pretty pure meritocracy, with any
major issues being resolved in a discussion where all interested
parties could have a say. This however reeks of a quick and dirty call
by some of the old guard carefully crafted to exclude me from having
any say, and quickly published to the amarok mailing list so even if I
did raise hell it will be hard to revert soince it has already been
made official. I do _really_ hope I am wrong in seeing it this way!

If this is how things will be done in Amarok in the future, I am going
to have to seriously reconsider my involvement, as it is just not
worth the aggregation to get sidelined like this.
