But the truth is that a vote like that is utterly pointless - if I am
not a Cactus committer, then I don't know these people at all. It comes
down to the salespitch that you give, or my mood, or whatever.
I am more than happy with Cactus committers deciding who they want to be
a part of Cactus - I know that until I participate, I have no way of
fairly judging them.
