I'm going to work really hard at not being offended by this. I do not view myself as a gatekeeper, and more importantly, that is not a role I desire (for myself or anyone else). However, I'm not self-deluded enough to believe that because I aspire to lofty ideals, that I somehow do not possess access to a controlled resource _that others do not_. If anything, my interest in a decentralized version control system is to even the playing field, remove obstacles, and empower contributors. -- Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: community-unsubscr...@apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: community-h...@apache.org
