An extolment for Walter

[Jesse Phillips]

I wish to express my gratitude towards Walter for his reluctance for 
change. While there are many times that he does finally make changes he 
was hardily against, "Shown the light" you might say. I believe that he 
should not only be applauded for putting up with some of the attacks 
toward him, but that this stone wall helps to clearly define the problem.

With such strong views coming from both ends, ideas build on each other 
to provide what could be a much better solution. We still have yet to 
really see what has come out from the Const stuff, however without such 
great opposition to it some serious problems my not have been resolved. 
Many are still unsure of this new direction and there is go reason to be.

I do not wish to say that Walter is alway correct in his standings, only 
that it provides a very good buffer to stupid changes that would result 
in later removal and rabid feature growth that does not need to be there. 
And I believe even those that become frustrated trying to get a change 
across no matter how trivial it seems do agree on the benefits from 
having such a barrier.
