Please stop attacking Tomas!

FFmpeg exists because many people, many who have different
views work together.

About MXF i agree with you and disagree with Tomas but that can be
stated in a technical way without offending anyone.

And just recently Tomas helped with jpeg2000, you can find the patches
he reviewed ...

theres absolutely no sense in this personal attack on others!

PS (off topic): if you want everyone to work on one MXF codebase, everyone is
welcome to join FFmpeg :)

thx

PS: we have christmess (and happy christmess btw to everyone)
12-24 is not holmgang ;)

Rewriting code that is poorly written but fully understood is good.
Rewriting code that one doesnt understand is a sign that one is less smart
than the original author, trying to rewrite it will not make it better.
