You did not mean to imply that the words of Felipe and me are somehow
worth less than those that have submitted a gazillion patches instead of
a couple (or, in me case, just one; which was, BTW, accepted (albeit in
its 2nd revision))...?

Me uses zsh constantly. Me's been following this list for a while. Me
has a considerable stake in zsh's future. Given all, me's hardly a 3rd
party[0]. 2nd party, perhaps. But not 3rd.

     problems already.
