if its stable and something that others want added, im OK with that. i
always thought that even if it worked and was stable, my opinion was that
it was "toy-ish"... we cant include *everything* and there are some key
pieces of my workflow that are not installed that i have no issues with
installing on my own. however, if someone wants to host a meeting, and
"vote" on the inclusion of LMMS, i'll come and participate, and not vote it
down, since i have no strong opinions other than it needs to be stable.
