Some issues that have been accepted (and fixed): http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4758 http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4738 http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4806 (not closed, but some changes have already been made) http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4784 A couple still under discussion: http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4824 (this one I think is a good idea) http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4830 (this one I don't) Rejected: http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4774 (closed at Ilias' request after it was explained why it should not be needed) http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4845 (the only really unreasonable one I've seen) Don't get me wrong. I don't like Ilias, for reasons that I suspect are obvious. At the same time however, I feel like a lot of valid points have been raised and not taken seriously on this list, purely because of the source.
