In reply to bobbi.

Actually, I just re-read my post again, and I can now see that I missed another nautical metaphor, which needs to be added to my advice to Matt, something along the lines of... "you're not up shit creak yet, but you can smell it from here". :-)

Seriously though, I think your reaction is a totally sane response to a team that is trying to tell us what we want, but dont seem to be listening when we tell them it isn't.

But because there's still time for the ecosystem to implement a route-around, which is what the internet does all the time, I dont think the inevitable is, well, inevitable.

I think that this wrong-headed intransigence over Gutenberg will actually prove to be one of the major deciding factors in creating the coming WP2 fork(s).
