Not necessarily. Lets put it in other words: The huge queues and the
credit system wasn't our invention. In fact i think it is bad for all
clients which are not optimized for it. Also it's bad for all, who
gets disconnected at some point and have to start all over again in
the queues.

So it isn't bad for the network if we go and think about ways the
credit system can be usefull, can be used by us. Isn't that the only
option we have so far? Emules are everywhere, noone will use the
classic client anymore if he has the choice.

On the other hand, should we only stand by side hoping to get our fair
chances of download by repeating over and over again that the queues
are way to big and the credit system nothing we want? We can do
nothing about that, mldonkeys are the minority...

Gruß,
  Martin
