Not a good start.

What if I told you I started programming in the mid 80s? Do I still qualify?

Yes, I tend to be annoyed when people seem to suggest to go against what 
the majority of our collective users and contributors has regularly 
expressed they wanted which is: a single libusb, where bugs get fixed on 
regular basis, and where much requested features, such as hotplug 
support, do make it into a release.

If your suggestion wasn't that it might be for the best if libusb was 
split into 2 separate projects, again, right after we finally managed to 
undo the earlier split which the vast majority of all of us (users, 
contributors, maintainers) would really have preferred to do without, 
then please clarify.

Also, as you should know, most projects, that have the capacity, tend to 
go around with a development branch and a stable branch, which is 
actually also something we've been toying about, with a long proposed 
but yet to be implemented 2.0 branch. How comes you didn't mention 
something like that?

So yeah, I am flabbergasted as to why you would even *remotely* suggest 
to go back to splitting libusb, especially when your argument appears to 
boil down to one's subjective perception of stability associated with a 
name.

> instead of trying to understand the actual problem

You can try to clarify how one is to interpret what you said earlier. Or 
you can go on a meaningless ad-hominen. Your choice.
