Conflicting not in functionality, but for sure in the code they affect.
Maybe take some time to read throught that code and you'll understand then
that merging in two new features at the same time is a bad idea.

Both Jonathan and you keep bringing the same arguments again and again
until someone agrees in resignation because you don't listen to their
arguments. If you can't live with the fact that not everyone jumps if you
want it you'd better get used to it now.

For the guidence part, you've received a piece of (private) email today
telling you what we can offer right now.

Over and out.
