I think it doesn't really mean anything at all, so it's hard to
say much about it. The core team was basically an honor role, which
outsiders assumed was a kabal of some sort despite the core and bod
repeatedly explaining that it wasn't. Now it's gone, so people will
have to find something else to complain about.
