+Recently, encouraged by quite some private encouragement, I thought I could +take on the task of teaching the core Git developers how user-unfriendly +Git is, and that they should be more open to change (especially given that +1.7.0 was already announced to be a version that breaks recent expectations, +something I would have expected to merit a 2.0 -- but who am I anyway?). +

+It is quite ironic, in a very cruel sense, that those people who are such +big fans of educating the users instead of fixing their tools are unable +to be educated about something that should be obvious. +
