Fair enough. Point taken. This was poorly managed on our part and for that
I apologize. Additional comments inline.

You are free to recommend constructive ways to remedy the situation, and I
believe you will find us accommodating. Let's take GSIP-69 off the table
for 2.2.x and we will remind ourselves that no GSIP's (not even ones
proposed with a willingness to wait for 2.3.x) should be put forth until
2.2.x is branched.
Shall we also roll back the security work? Doing so should leave us back in
a state in which GeoServer is good again and ready for release.
