Well, my comment there wasn't meant to be snippy at all - it was meant to
point out that starting a greenfield project gives you a hell of a lot more
freedom than trying to improve an existing one, and that I considered (and
still do consider) Tony's work on improving CDBI without spannering backwards
compat for users to be nothing short of heroic.

The parts of that thread discussing designing for extensibility and multiple
inheritance are absolutely facinating; the single subthread where it devolved
into a slanging match should simply be glossed over as a bloody good example
of how e-mail communication can go badly wrong and little else.

As for digging up old animosities I've only seen one person try, and that
was as an excuse to pursue a pointless vendetta against one of the participants
so need not be considered relevant.
