I'm still missing something. I don't see any problems in the releng
team adding early-access features to their own repository that
references plug-ins present in their own repository. That's a
contained and well planned deliverable. What I don't understand is
why this meant adding features to the Sim repository that references
targets not present in the Sim repository. That's a deliverable and
a half.
I had hoped that we reached some kind of consensus when this debacle
happened the last time, saying that the Sim should be self contained
without dangling references. Apparently that was a mistake on my
part.
Anyway, all things considered, it's a minor problem that I'm able to
work around so I won't continue arguing about it.
Thanks David for your attempts to explain the reasons (even if I'm
not completely clear on them yet :) )
