I'm not sure where this impression came from. The truth is, my
name has been proposed, but vetoed by -core. While I find it disappointing
that the -core member or members who vetoed me have chosen not to discuss
their reasons with me, I respect their decision and have chosen to not
worry about it. This may be why some have gotten the impression that I'm
not interested. Believe me, it takes more than a little bickering to
discourage me. :)
Whether this is fortunate or unfortunate for the project is a
matter of interpretation. While I appreciate the vote of confidence,
that'a all I will say in public about it. I did want to take the
opportunity to set the record straight however.
