Nobody said anyone didn't like that. It's that it's very difficult to use your mods in the official repo as they are because you're not collaborating with other developers of the skin.

My build is not officially posted anywhere on this forum and If your worried about people using my mod, that's pretty petty and I'm sorry you feel that way.
I'm really not trying to be rude. It's exactly the size of your mods and the fact that we can't properly diff against the official repo that is the issue. I can't use your patches directly because you're working off of some version of the code that you're not disclosing.
Again, if you want to publicly maintain your own fork that is your prerogative. I don't have to agree with that, though. I personally think it's better to push changes upstream so everyone is on the same page.
You shared your fork on this thread -- the Metropolis Development thread -- so I think on some level that means you want people to use it. I don't think this is the right thread to do that on, is all.
