Just as a quick note, Nick Nethercote is one of the people who have spent considerable amounts of time to actively engage with people posting highly critical things over the last few weeks here. Reading your message the way I think I'm supposed to, i.e., exactly inverted, I'm pretty sure he agrees on a great deal of points with you. All he said was that it's not useful to implement an entirely new system instead of keeping to use existing ones, like this one. People who want to keep using the governance mailing list for other things can just do so. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
