Wow, I'm sorry if people would rather concentrate on R1 *code* now
than on *post*-R1 *code*, and instead chose to keep a repository of
ideas on a mailing list open for public feedback.

Wow, I'm sorry if R2 won't be ready the week following the one when R1
gets released.

Wow, I'm sorry if a list meant to be repository of ideas was kept open
for public feedback for what people expected from *future* Haiku
releases.

Wow, I'm sorry if a list meant to be repository of ideas was kept open
for public feedback for what people expected from **future** Haiku
releases, and R1's goal was defined to be "cloning R5's features and
STAY FOCUSED to that goal". What would you suggest instead?

It's not going anywhere. If for anything else, the ideas were archived
for future digestion, refinements, and (hopefully) proper
implementation when the appropriate time comes.
As an added bonus, see, there was actual discussion going on there
regarding a number of relevant topics, some fleshing out (refinements,
as you see) has happened already based on those discussions, and
because the list was open for the public, there are actually MANY new
ideas REAL PEOPLE would like to see in their dream OS, ideas that can
be turned real IN CASE they share the spirit of BeOS and pleases the
developers as well.
Sorry, it's a community here. You're always free to form a start-up
company and build your own dream OS, which fits YOUR criteria, THERE.
And you're free to take away as much code as you wish from this
project as well.
Now, sorry for being rude, but asking for the GE list to be closed
because 2 guys don't really like it and decided to go vocal (you being
the second one) was the most *disgusting* thing *I* had the
displeasure of reading on the Haiku mailing lists, *ever*.
