I'm convinced Fernando thought he was meant to do this on his own as a
final test. He generally asks for advice if he's unsure. I had numerous
discussions about packaging with him in the Desktop Team, Sébastien and
Áron would surely say the same.

Other members of the MOTU team would have had difficulties with this
merge too. In case we're unsure about applicants, we should think of a
different way of getting more information of the applicant's qualities.

I appreciate that you tried to help finding out more about his skills, I
personally just don't feel that saying "you're not ready yet" after a
particularly complicated merge is fair.

I regret not replying to this earlier. I was too busy during the weeks
of UDS and Allhands.

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
