The *reason* for leaving is that channel organizers trust the Freenode volunteer staff to be reasonably accurate in discussing organizational politics, and don't trust the new management to behave ethically or do a good job of managing the service. Channels acted in *expectation* of nasty behavior by the new management, based on how they acted toward the staff during the takeover (as reported by the staff), and perhaps based on Andrew Lee's past unsavory behavior and associations -- I mean, hiring Mark Karpeles of "Mt. Gox" infamy as CTO is a sign of crony capitalism, not good intentions or competence! The *response* of the management during and after the exodus is advanced as confirmation of that mistrust; it's elliptical in the sense of omitting discussion of the difference between expectation and reality, but it's not circular. Steve -- All puns intended. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
