The odd thing is that I assumed that was already the policy, at least
that's the policy outlined by the Apache meritocracy model, if I
understood Rich correctly in the discussion that took place on the
cabal list after the uproar over the buttons (which now seems like a
bad idea for that discussion to be on a private list, considering if
that had been a more public discussion, we might not be having this
again).
As to the point of the recent color changes, that's why I took my
issues with the commit to the private list first(as I was speaking to
a larger question that Owen is now bringing up), rather than just rip
it out. Randy said it was a mistake, and I'll take it at face value.
The last thing I'll add is a quote from the last message on the the
thread from the private list. I won't attribute it, as I don't want
to cross any lines of what's "private"
"Use common sense, don't arbitrarily do things out of your own
subjective
opinion, explain your reasoning in the commit message, and don't be a
dick
and we should all be fine... "
Isn't that kinda what everyone is trying to say?
