Yes and no.

No: This reminds me the GTK discussions; everyone wanted to maintain
GTK, fork, stay on v6.1, ... At the end, focusing on one clean web
client was one of the most important move OpenERP did in the pasts months.

Yes: This means we have to bring a big attention on the issue. We have
to understand everyone's argument, evaluate all proposed solutions and
find the best ones. And that's what we are doing.

We are just not convinced by proposed arguments and we think there have
been a lot of misunderstandings/confusions/noise on the issue. Not
everyone perfectly understood: our solution & the real problem. So,
discussions are biased by the one that speak louder.

I know it can be frustrating as we lead OpenERP like Linus Torvalds lead
Linux: on our core module we have the final decision on any merge. But
that has been the strength of OpenERP: having a clear direction.

We are all very smart: You are smart and We are smart too. So, if we
succeed concentrating a real issues/use cases (and not trying to push
our own solution without fully understanding other ones) we should agree
on the best scenario.
