Well, well, well!

I would assume that you might realize that this is directed at the
non-perforce users (Tony and Perforce know exactly how they feel....) who
absolutly refused to use Perforce and still stuck with us while turning in
tarballs or whatever..... if you read closely there is no point where
Perforce is removed from our distro... ;-)

I think Tony knows what the deal is, we all work together to supply the
alternative that developers want to use.

Let's not dwell on these sort of subjects, you all should know me better than
that, I never intend to hurt, damage or appear ugly to any fraction of our
team or supporting organizations. Let's quit on that note?
