I assume the comment was influenced Bert's German style communication

well some more elaboration...

But Bert put into perspective by the smiley to cater for a more
international audience.

I hope to see more cooperation like this in the upcoming weeks as we
move towards the release of 4.4 in October. We want it  to really be
stable. (This type of comment however would more belong to Frank)

place is narrowing down the problem from ten thousands of lines to
