Not particularly. I remember the first time someone told me that Banking 
Addons were incompatible with account_bank_statement_extension. I did 
not use that module and I was pretty happy with the state of the Banking 
Addons project so I shrugged. Recently, someone told me that they hosed 
their database by installing Banking Addons on top of 
account_bank_statement_extension. I told them that this was a known 
incompatiblity but that there is no way to prevent conflicting modules 
to be installed together in OpenERP.

As the defacto maintainer of the Banking Addons, I do not feel forced to 
collaborate and integrate with alternative solutions. I might think it 
is a good thing if I see added value for my company or my customers in 
any way, but I am not forced.

Cheers,
Stefan.
