I understand you're using any excuse to post crap.

Later in your mail you anyway try to explain it:

So your excuse is that quoting an old flame from someone else with
little objective content would explain why I'd maintain a repo much
later? Bullshit. And don't try to claim you were trying to refer to any
general disagreements when you quoted a particular part badmouthing me
(plus as already pointed out on dev-eng much of the discussion involved
people with little relevance to current situation). Also you can't
seriously claim any old discussions would explain the actual
user-relevant state of the repositories now.

So you think users are going to be shocked when they find out the code
they've been running doesn't match _your_ idea of what should be
considered "official"? And you think your labels are of such major
importance that it's wrong not to mention them? Who do you think would
care more: a git user who hears you wouldn't call his build official, or
an svn user who hears that he's been missing several kinds of
functionality and fixes that would have been available in the git repo?
Do you always remember to mention the latter when talking about svn to
"unsuspecting" users?

How about you stop lying or try to get some idea about the actual
reality before posting claims that things are "absolutely" this way?

I think your understanding of either repo is rather lacking if you think
svn development would continue or that the git repo is ignored (or would
even "continue" to be...).
