After the meeting we had in Chicago, we're in the midst of a transition phase 
where - subject to the adoption of the new governance model - PO will be 
abolished for committers to make the kind of decision you describe. This 
includes the option for everyone to call the attention to features you consider 
indispensable. However, if there's no one to share your view and/or to have the 
resources to implement, the feature will be shelved until someone considers it 
so unacceptable he or she will make a move.

I'm afraid that's not the only "Ha-ha" we could get from Nelson, so you better 
have Martin [1] allocate your metadata without typos for the moment. I'm sure 
someone distributing (to iTunes U or other channels) will have to move as soon 
as you misspelled the dean's name.
