Not knowing the FULL story from both sides, I feel it'd be inappropriate
if I were to comment on it. However knowing Matt's coding abilities,
having seen the eruption here a few months ago, and the past splits that
IIUC were due to core problems, perhaps an oversight board (for lack of
a better description) consisting of zero core people and zero committers
may help to stop or solve some of these erruptions before they spill out
into the public's view. Who does a coder, committer, core member, etc,
have to turn to if (s)he feels (s)he's getting the shaft? Not anything
aimed at you (Jordan) or David, but let's face it - you two have enough
to do without having to worry about the petty crap that seeps out as well.
Vince.
