Discussions about the bikeshed colors tend to generate lots of postings 
because they are intellectually easy to participate in. That doesn't 
bother me. What does bother me is that such discussions tend to result 
in people digging in and hardening their positions to the point of 
setting their whole D experience on their particular preferred bikeshed 
color. More than once people have left D over such trivia.

The actual development work that I, Andrei, Don, Sean, etc., engage in, 
however, remains focussed on the long term goals. I think you can see 
this in the regular changelog updates.
