When I siad I would re-visit that decision I didn't mean that we would
open it up to everyone.  Clearly, that would not be a wise move.  No,
I wanted to give specific people accounts if they are going to be
working on something that is sanctioned by GNOME or by GNOME
foundation folks.  I don't think Alex is a GNOME foundation member.
It also forces a lot of us who are foundation members to use non-free
services as well as not use our own technologies while plotting ways
for others to use our technologies.
