 Having been away from the lists for a while, I may well have missed some
more meaty 'disputes' regarding features incorporated/awaiting
incorporation into HylaFAX.

 However, if memory serves correctly, (and please correct me if I am
mistaken), there have been some areas of 'mild' debate with regards to
what should and should not be incorporated. Lee, I believe, tends to lean
more towards introducing functionality and new features, whereas iFAX, for
obvious business reasons, tends more towards stability at the cost of
functionality and features.

 One cannot cover all those aspects in one single distribution/code
base, which is why I personally believe that Lee has made a good decision
by freeing up another possible avenue for HylaFAX.
