[zeromq-dev] Storm rejecting ZeroMQ

[Brian Knox]

I've been a user of zeromq for a few years now.  There were in my opinion
some rough spots around the 2.x to 3.x transition.  However, I stuck with
it, and from my perspective both the library and the community around the
library has been maturing nicely.

As Charles said - search for Nathan looking for help on the list and being
ignored, or for him filing bug reports that were ignored, if his statements
give you pause.  I'm an empiricist :)
