Good point. GE (AFAICC) is nothing but a talk shop. Nothing is being
done that could/will be implemented into Haiku post R1. Lots of
stuff is being bandied around, yet nothing is being decided on and
moved up the ladder, eventually leading to execution (read: written
code) and implementation/integration.

So... by the time R1 is out, GE is exactly where it was the day the
list went live. That surely isn't in the interest of Haiku, the
community or people like Simon who get frustrated with the albatross
around the neck called "Glass Elevator". 

The constant referring to GE of new ideas or concepts that more
often than not don't seem to be overly complex/complicated isn't
only nauseating but counter-productive. But given the previous
responses to a request in change in attitude by those in command, I
politely suggest the closing of the GE list. It just doesn't serve a
purpose in its current incarnation, irrespective of the noble idea
behind it when it was launched - unless people like expending their
time on just talking about stuff without leading/going anywhere.
