I'm listening.  Can you give some examples of problems I've caused?
Candidates include

- the FIXME_ONCE guy; I think you and I are giving him the same advice;
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2010-July/085069.html
so that seems fine.

- Misha; I told him tests were ok to submit during a code freeze; this is true,
given that Alexandre accepted tests as last as last Friday.  I should have
told him that tests which add stubs probably aren't ok, but he learned
that as soon as he submitted.
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2010-June/084632.html
so that seems fine.

Would you really prefer I retire from Wine?
