Hi Gunnar,

I think that the technical aspects should be discussed before a commit, not 
before reverting it. You told me you want to enable the filter extension, but 
you never said you want to push a useless update for kolabd in 2.3-stable.

I'm not sure if Thomas had tried to contact you in this case, but I do know 
that in the past Thomas reverted your commits, too. In fact I discussed this 
decision with Sascha and Thomas. While I was the one who first suggested to 
ignore your changes, they insisted that the tag needs to exactly match the 
release and therefor the commit had to be reverted.

You knew that I was to release 2.3.3. How about pinging me to tell me that I 
need to build a new kolabd package?

Do I expect too much if I expect you to explain your desired changes and their 
scope in advance when we discuss them? If we argued that way we can go back 
and forth without any progress if we argue this way. This is why I suggest to 
restrict this discussion to the technical questions. (Another mail on that is 
to come.)

Kind regards,
Christoph
