I wouldn't say I vetoed i, but wasn't it pretty obvious from the whole discussion that a fair number of people want to keep git-xyzzy? So getting rid of git-xyzzy altogether would seem to be stupid, and not listening to users. So I'm not "vetoing" it, but I don't think git maintainers (past _or_ current ;) have been stupid, or unable to listen to people, and as such I think the end result is pretty obvious. Linus
