This type of commentary is somewhat unfair.   I took Lennart's comments as 
constructive criticism of a project which has been in existence since 1999.   
Any project that has been around that long is bound to accumulate its share 
of warts and we welcome all suggestions for improvement however they are 
delivered.   

Many people have used SIMPL over the years and by many measures it is a very 
successful open source project.    I'd love to see SIMPL finally get a Debian 
package and I've indicated to Lennart that we'd be willing to work with him 
to scrub things into a more "standard" format.   With a Debian package 
perhaps even more people would use SIMPL.
