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.
