The only person who insist on the Xvid spelling is Diego.
As long as I am maintainer of XviD the source files won't be renamed,
so they won't be consistent.

However now that I've taken my stand Diego would never agree to revert
all the changes and let me "win".

Actually he restarted this thread only to use my rash revert as vehicle to indulge Uoti. He didn't restarted it at clear head at all, even if he claimed that. 

He is forcing his changes before we have chance to discuss it on clear heads. Even if this means breaking rule 12 that requires discussion on controversial changes. And after so many flame mails on the subject, nobody can argue the change is not controversial.
Not that discussion would have any merits when your voice can override everybody else by definition.

Diego, you are not suited for leader. A leader should never drop so low.
Surrender now.
