Well, those two are not mutually exclusive. Things like the body formatting are at the core of the system and as such somewhat susceptible to fall prey to inertia more quickly than things on the outskirts. Then again, I could not find the discussion you refer to, so I can only speculate here.

I would love to see my efforts blossom into directly supporting or at least aiding the process of keeping RCM up with the demands of the userbase by reducing that inertia. If I have done my homework correctly, it should at the very least make it easier to contribute to the project and keep contributions cohesive without increasing technological debt. In the best case scenario, we will end up cutting down on existing technological debt.

Finally - I don't think that the message count is an indication of focus. Most of the messages in this thread are from me, anyhow. So if anything, they're proof that I like to post a lot of status updates.

And I'd wish that some day a discussion about formatting the *body* of a
Roundcube message (which does affect all Roundcube users plus their
recipients) would get the same attention as a discussion about formatting
the Roundcube *code* (which does affect almost no Roundcube users nor their
recipients at all).

But the former discussion had been actively dropped after just a few
messages. The discussion about formatting the code deserved 66 messages up
to now, and there may still be more to come.

Wow and <sigh>.
