Of course you're perfectly entitled to do that, and I don't criticize you for it in any way.

But maybe the outcome would have been different if you'd said to your manager "Stuff you, I'm going to embrace our Maemo developers" instead of saying to us "Well, you know, for corporate reasons we are constrained to work in these disfunctional ways".
So now it's Quim's fault?

I'd like to see you risk your job and sole source of income when you're living in a foreign country along with your wife and family.

I'm sure we'd all like to hear it straight, and I'm sure Quim would on many occasions like to have been able to tell it straight, but the realities of being a professional and real life can be so burdensome at times...

We can all deduce what's going on given the announcements and it's not pretty, it's actually quite shabby, sad and underhand, but that's nothing to do with Quim.
