As always, these issues need to be ultimately decided between the people
actually doing the work. If you ask on a list with a thousand people
subscribed you will get a thousand answers. And the people actually doing
the work, will just say "forget it no point" as they are busy getting actual
work done.

And yes, it really pisses me off that I have to write this meta-reply to the
list, if you would have sent that message to me just asking "hey, can't you
fix B3D to follow these rough guidelines" I would've done it no questions
asked. But now we're sitting here in these meta-cyclic completely
nonsensical discussion where everyone (including you) knows that absolutely
nothing substantial will come out of it ;-( Just because the people
expressing their opinions will be largely disjunct from the people doing the
work.

Dropping out now. If you want me to fix up something in B3D just ask.

Cheers,
  - Andreas
