Hi,

It is you that keeps this pointless thread alive, though, even though
you should have heard good arguments for why it was dropped, and why
there is no reason to reconsider at this point.
Rather than good arguments I heard what sounded more like excuses of why
a vote was called for and then the outcome simply ignored with no clear
explanation.
If anything, the lack of action at the time was proven by the lack of
action of the potential contributors.
The vote was never tied up to any development activity, at least not in
the way the vote was presented. Had there been any pre-conditions to
granting SVN access to the S&T folks, as you *only now* suggest, then
that should have been stated from the get go, or the vote should have
not been started in the first place. I can understand that, as you *only
now* suggest, the vote may have been started prematurely by mistake; but
then a clarification on the same thread could have been made to that
effect and the vote closed. Lacking that, one can only assume what happened.

"for no real reason" -- that's the part where you are wrong. Please accept
the simple fact that someone may start a vote prematurely, that even quite
a few developers cast their vote until it is made clear by someone else
that the vote was premature. Such is life. No harm intended and no harm
done. It doesn't always have to be about how something is flawed in this
project.
Please, read the vote thread and you will see that it is a fact that it
came to a halt with no clear explanation of why the vote was being
dropped in spite of having received an overwhelming amount of +1 votes.
There was no official declaration that the vote was being closed nor any
explanation of any kind. When by any accounts this was a clear YES vote,
for no apparent reason it was just left there to linger and allowed to
die. Can you accept that this naturally leaves people wondering what
happened?

Don't worry or feel guilty. Last time the discussion was not really
about you getting svn access, but about something else in the
background. This time there not really is any discussion; it is just
one person just needlessly trying to heat things up.
Did you get your dose of uncalled for offensive and provocative comments
now? :/
That I have a view or take a position that you disagree with or point
out something that you think is not important does not give you the
right to make this sort of accusation. Please, keep your not so subtle
provocations to yourself.
Anyway, I am glad that the S&T folks came forward and gave an update.
Although I have not used it much, I find S&T to be very intriguing at
the very least, and I really hope the technology and its concepts are
proactively embraced by the project so that we can add it to our bag of
distinctive features that will help make Haiku so unique and great.
