is unnecassery."

Which part of "unacceptable" don't you understand?

I made some suggestions for improvements which you choose to ignore without 
giving any reason. Being one of the maintainers of KConfig I'm pretty pissed 
that you push your changes after I tell you that I don't like them. After 
Dirk rightfully reverted them you merily start to whine instead of listening 
what others are telling you. 

You write: "I'm no longer spending time on this.", I didn't ask you to spend 
time on this did I? If I recall correctly you were the one who wanted to have 
this done. I think it is a good idea as well but not in the form that you 
implemented it.

You write: "I can't test this latest patch, because I'm tired of recompiling 
kdebase and kdelibs", then go to bed and come back when you are no longer 
tired and have time to properly test your work.

I apreciate you work but I don't like your "my way or the highway" attitude at 
all.

Cheers,
Waldo
