The community can't even manage to define what "in sync" means.
Any advancement in ANY direction is resulting in vetoes being thrown right, 
left and center. Lazy-consensus one month is met by "Stop referring to X as 
standard. It is not.". What one day is the holy-grail, is the next day too 
complex and should be abandonned. Swings from PicoContainer to Enterprise 
container and back over a short period of time.

So, figuratively speaking, I am pulling out the big guns, start shooting in 
all directions and see what is left standing when the dust settles. I am 
tired of "indecisiveness", especially when the problem is opinion-makers who 
doesn't back their words with action.

So, if "Status Quo" is desirable as Avalon 4 goes, then A4 is DONE!!! Get on 
with life. If you are happy about it, use it, patch it, do whatever. I don't 
care. 
Look at Cortez - Burn the Ships, what I brilliant idea. No turning back, must 
move on. And only in one direction - FORWARD. You don't want to move, the 
mosquitos will soon eat you. Your choice.

I honestly don't care if Merlin is the container to rally around. What I do 
care about is the stalemate and back tracking that is hampering this 
community.
