Hell, I wrote that response *before* I saw his little exchange with
spot, just today. I stand by my GPG signed assessment. In two years his,
shall we say, "interpersonal skills" have not matured one bit. I've had
to deal with way too many people like him. Its not going to get better.
He doesn't even seem to have the saving grace of irreplaceable technical
skill. He's not an upstream worth dealing with.

My worthless rabble vote is to just admit to ourselves we've forked
already, cease contact with Jeff, and end the drama once and for all. 

Then fix RPM's crappy DB locking.
