i apologize, and i resolve to do better in that regard.

i don't know what to say when folks deny that there is a problem, or 
that the problem is severe, or that the process by which we got here was 
flawed. perhaps i'll just remain silent in those cases.

if there are only a small number of people who understand the code well 
enough to fix things, and those people have jobs and families and lives, 
and so are not able (over a period of some years) to invest their 
volunteer efforts, that's understandable, and we still owe those people 
a giant debt of gratitude for whatever they've been willing to do.

i don't think any of them can afford to interrupt their careers with a 
one-month contract to fix akonadi, and that leaves me powerless to 
affect my own outcomes, other than to invest time in workarounds. this 
is frustrating, since when kmail worked for me, it was the best thing ever.
