Wow, that was quite a rant from someone who hasn't contributed a damn thing. People volunteer their time and effort to this project. There are no guarantees that any of this code won't make your cpu melt or cause your curtains to catch fire. Ranting at a bunch of volunteers is utterly useless and counterproductive. If you have a genuine interest in seeing things improve, get involved. Pick your favourite extension that is troubling you, talk to the authors and other users and figure out what needs to be done to solve its remaining issues. If you do that, your words might mean something. -Rasmus
