good point, you don't want to waste time fixing other people's 'fixes'.

I'm not going to argue that CVS/KDE is an open thing, meaning everyone can 
fix everything.

The thing I want to say here is that in koffice and kde the responsebility 
lies at the individual developer at all times.
Problem is that that a developer made a mistake, and it should be fixed. We 
can all help here, we will get this problem solved in a little time as 
possible.

Therefor 'closing it down' is not the answer because it is not your problem 
alone.

I hope no people feel hurt after this episode, let us get on with what we do 
best; hacking.
