<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">Fx I don’t want to come in a situation like Kamil where he develop a very nice (in my opinion) feature – differential backup – which you don’t want to include in the release (don’t know exact reason
though)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">I think it’s a shame that features like these are not officially included in your releases in some way... I understand that you want to keep things simple and stable (or stable and simple
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D">J</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"> ), but at least it would be nice to be able to fetch features like these – fx from a contribution repository, or making the code more modulized/pluginable,
so adding features like above can be easy added by users.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">It’s not a “shame” that we do not integrate this, it’s a feature that we include only code fits into the product. The way it should work is defined, but this guy does not followed this idea.
This is ok for me but it’s clear that in this case we will not integrate it.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p>
