Others think differently, and so does core. A core team, which, as you
will remember, has been chosen by a vote, and based on the bylaws of the

It seems that those who think that the bylaws need changing would need
to run for the next core election, gather a majority in core, change
the bylaws etc.

from abusive language.

And don't go down the 'political correctness' path, we have all been
