Hi,
Gert is one of the few people I know that I trust completely regarding integrity. He proved me right again by letting Sander conclude this proposal so that neutrality is given.
Indeed. I am staying out of this discussion and I will limit myself to judging on consensus or not. I admit that I am very annoyed by what is happening on the list at the moment, but I will not let that influence my decision. That will be based on arguments for/against the proposal and how they are addressed. What we look for is support for the proposal and that the objections against the proposal have been properly considered. That doesn't mean that every objection blocks the proposal. Rough consensus only requires the objections to be taken seriously and be considered. I will let you know the outcome once I analyse every message from the review phase about this proposal on this mailing list. This might take a while... Please be a bit patient. Cheers, Sander
