Please, no.
I was planning to use it in a next week presentation in a major conference
here an one of the important things introduced during our evolution.
Despite this, turn off Krazy is just a way to make more people talking
about "what's happening".
Sorry, but by blaming Krazy for the fact that we're lack of resources or for
try force people to do something is almost the same to cut off the liberty of
developers decide by thenselves what they want to do.
Probably i'm not the first one to say that, but the current issues have
NOTHING TO DO with tools like krazy, but to lack of we do better management
of project and failing in to explain to out developers what we need to do
right now.
Seriously, shutting down krazy is more signal of weakness and confusion than a
really help to project. PLease, get it online again.
