I can write a lot in response to these two paragraphs, but it would
just be inflammatory. I think telling people to keep out of a discussion
with arguments from authority should have no place on this mailing list.
I think trying to close a discussion and make people shut up in this
way is unacceptable.

I consider the whole argument about a koffice plugin development community
a red herring, not germane to my original question.

I appeal to the Council to close this discussion and setup a policy about
whether having bugs for missing odf features in bugzilla is acceptable
or not, since it is clear there will never be consensus between Thomas 
and the other developers who have participated in this thread.
