That is not exactly how I read it. :-( I read it more like, both Jordan and Mike thought core was doing more arguing than work. One thing I found interesting.. I did not find at the FreeBSD site an explanation of what exactly core is/does. I have an indea from years reading the lists, but I figure this would be somewhere obvious. Neither looking at the index or a search on FAQ/Docs found a definition/description. Did found the list of Core members and their by-laws.
