You are welcome.

Your argument is valid, but as I already explained to Robert Kaiser,
it is not the only valid argument; here is a famous quote:

    Conceptual integrity in turn dictates that the design must
    proceed from one mind, or from a very small number of
    agreeing resonant minds.

Before  I  add  anybody  to  the  project  as  developer  with  write
permissions  to  CVS,  I  want  to make sure that there is at least a
minimul level of such "resonance". This includes simple  things  like
conforming  to  a  common  coding  style,  in-advance  negotiation of
changes with global impact, etc.
