I'd like to add a voice of reason to this debate; I've had
disagreements with core members commit policy in the past. Although
I still disagree with core on that issue, and felt very hot-blooded
about it at the time I elected not to make a public issue out of
it for a number of reasons, the foremost being that sometimes even
the best of people just disagree with each other. It has became
clear to me by and by that core has "some of the best people".

Core is not a gaggle of project administrators with nothing better
to do, they are programmers; talented or prolific and occasionally
both. Further when discussing my commit disagreements with core I
was struck by the thought, diplomacy and humour core (particularly
Jordon, despite his claims of not being able to pull punches) put into
replying. It is possible to disagree on an issue with people you
respect without loosing your respect for them on all issues and
this is an important point to remember.

Jordon, please don't take the flaming to heart. I truly appreciate
the work you have done even if I have disagreed with you on other
issues from time to time.
