Jeez, I wasn't impling that. Maybe it would have been more clear to you if 
the above sentence reads "If you don't like that the release dude would get 
the very last decision.. "  Under no circumstance I ever claimed to have 
_executive rights_ over KDE. I really, really start to wonder why I have to 
repeat this over and over again, just for you. 

How often do we still have to do this 
fruitless discussion until you finally realize what I've been trying to tell 
you since we started it ?

Sorry, EOT for me. I'm not going to waste my time on this anymore.
