My big problem is that Larry doesn't have realistic balance in
determining how we are to spend our time.  Basically, if threading isn't
working in CVS for his platform, it is a crisis, and he thinks it should
be a crisis for us too, and will complain continuously until it is
fixed.  (This has been the pattern in the past.)  

I have no desire to work that way.  I, and Tom (I think) suggested that
we wait to see what other platforms need this kind of fix before
deciding on a solution.  However, Larry is obviously not satisfied with
that, so he is complaining.  Last I looked, I was here to work for the
community, based on the community priorities, not Larry's.
