Sometimes you must take a step back (or at least make it look like you're 
taking a step back) to take steps forward. Things will be more clearly 
defined soon, since the feature is not done yet.

Also, it would help if you could be on IRC more, since this is where the 
majority of the discussion takes place. The other thing to do is to also 
provide peer review after commits are made so that your issues are addressed 
then, similar to what you've done here, but with out all the accusations that 
we're taking steps back, this sucks and doesn't work for you, etc. The best 
times are during the evening hours in the -5 UTC (-6 GMT) time zone.

As the maintainer, I'm concerned with moving the project forward, so that's 
what I'm doing.
