Dmitry et al

Please stop feeding the troll.
Don't stoop to its level, it will only cause you nightmares.

The people that matter in the project realize the FUD and lies it
spreads and extraordinary time wasting it creates dealing with the
troll. Just ignore it.
For newcomers, there really isn't anything we can do to help.. They'll
have to figure it out for them self, eventually.
The best we can do to help them is to simply not reply to the troll.
They will soon realize why.

-Hannes
