Apologies if what I wrote was taken in the context of finger pointing, 
or any sort of criticism of what was done.  I meant it purely as a 
bird's eye view response to fractal's comments on wondering why no one 
was switching to OTS3.

OTS2 was a one man show, but the one man apparently had the motivation 
to make something for the masses.  Most of us (myself included) tend to 
do what works for us in hopes someone else finds it useful.  From what 
you wrote, that is where your "OTS3 Proposal" is at.  I understand that, 
and in no way criticize that position.
