That's a false equivalence at best ; that makes the assumption that any time spent on other things is time not being spent on the critical issues, which isn't the case. The number of people on the Haiku team who can work on kernel issues is comparatively much smaller than the number of people who work on things in userland. As such, John working on changing the look of the buttons a bit isn't taking away time that could be spent on the priority inversion problem (or any of the other kernel/stability problems), since he wouldn't be working on that anyways. Everyone works on the things that they're able to and that interest them, we're not all interchangeable as far as tasks go. Regards, Rene
