[Bf-committers] Working on Big Patch for GE...

[Ben Stabler]

I disagree. Of course, in the short term, fixing bugs is a concern. 
However, if Brian wants to start work on some more advanced features 
that will make more things possible with the game engine, thats great. 
Although I don't use the game engine very often, some of the things he 
mentions sound pretty amazing to have implemented.

Bugs are a concern, but I don't think we should force all our developers 
to work on that, especially ones who didn't actually write the buggy 
code and therefore might not know how it works as well as Erwin knows 
the code. Sorry Erwin. The bugs will (eventually) get fixed, but at the 
same time, we shouldn't stop new features from being implemented.

Basically, to Brian: Go for it!
