I would urge you all to try some compassion when it concerns Marcus.  
He suffers from some severe depression and as consequence can become 
easily agitated when challenged.

For what it is worth, I am very glad to see Richard Dale's work on 
alternative C# bindings based on Ashley's Smoke library.  I hope this 
proves fruitful, however I am still have grave doubts the efficacy of 
*any* long term binding.  But that is another discussion.

I don't maintain Qt# anymore, but as the majority of the code in KDE's 
qtsharp cvs module was mine, I have no problem with its disabling at 
this point in time.  Richard is the maintainer and author of the QtC 
library, as such I respect his decisions when it comes to their fate.  

Marcus, you can host the old QtC in sourceforge as we've been doing.  
QtC hasn't been undergoing any changes in KDE's cvs and will not be 
according to Richard's plans, so I don't see what the fuss really 
*is* about taking this out of source level control when a tarball 
will just as easily suffice.
