This, as well as making sure that the legal t's are crossed and i's dotted make up 99% of what goes on on the private@ list. The idea is that anything that doesn't /need/ to be private should be discussed publicly: it is consequently quite a boring place <g>. Since almost everything the PMC does is vote on new committers and fulfill the binding-release-vote quota, it is very desirable to always have the most long-term/experienced committers from each subproject on the PMC. This is another reason why term-limits wouldn't be ideal (besides the reason that Grant mentioned). cheers, -Mike
