Looks like this thread was pretty evenly split between core devs and non-core devs.

Looks like a definite majority of non-core devs, and at least a slight majority of core devs, think "assret" should be removed.

Apparently you do not speak for all core devs on this issue, so please don't pretend that you do.

Oh, and just a small tidbit of info -- it took longer to research and write this email than it did to write the patch to remove "assret" checking [1].

Seems to me a lot of fuss could have been avoided by just acknowledging that a mistake may have been made, and asking for patches if anybody cared enough about it.
