   In many cases, Terry's solutions to the problems that he is trying to
solve aren't the ones we want to adopt. There are far more instances where
Kirk McKusick and other people in-the-know have objected to the direction
that Terry wants to take us than there are in favor. Terry's unwillingness
to carefully explain/justify the changes that he proposes in a manor that
reasonable kernel developers can understand has further resulted in a
serious lack of trust. For these reasons it's the unanimous opinion of
the core team that Terry not be given commit privileges.
