Tomas, I think that you're making a mountain out of a
molehill. This patch is at the *very* fringes of Abi,
self-contained, minimal, peer-reviewed (by me), and
fixes a bug/shortcoming in our cmdline converter. This
patch is polish for our cmdline conversion feature,
not a new feature in itself.
I appreciate the work you've been doing to get the 2.4
release out the door. Over the last few days, I've
tried to do my share to help out and hope to continue
to do so over the coming weeks.
Let's try to get a 2.3.1 release out soon so that we
can get some more feedback on how we're doing.
Gnumeric is trying to do a release every 2 weeks until
their 1.6.0 release. Maybe we should do the same.
Best,
Dom
