Dude, you'll have to be specific here.  If there is something 
_specifically_
wrong that you think I'm doing, please share it with us.  But I must 
tell
you that I tend to ignore vague, gadfly-like criticism like the 
foregoing.

I think you may have a minor misconception as to the purpose of
objc-improvements-branch.  It is a _development_ branch, among many
others, and as such contains work in progress, which may at times
be partially (or even completely) broken.  It is _not_ a release
branch.
