I am not making announcements or committing to anything.
Don't worry, I was just teasing you :) It's just that when I was reading Gerd asking for a plugin system, I thought "what plugin system, open-source it altogether" (if we are to be making wishes, that is). So I was happy to see that you're more on this side of the "argument".
I am simply sharing my thoughts about long-term sustainability, interpret these as you want,
I do indeed interpret them as I want. And what I notice, is that you seem to have made quite some elaborate plans to, at least, leave this option feasible :) But that's just me sharing my impressions.
