My point was that these volunteers, by not posting on ooo-dev,
shut themselves out of the debate. They are grumbling about
their votes not counting. I think they should be more
concerned about their views not being heard because their
self-imposed exclusion from the larger project discussions on
ooo-dev. A vote is just a vote. It is worth little. But
having a well-argued point of view posted in the right place,
that is worth much.
I think at this stage there is little point in discussion about
what has happened. The result is sufficiently decisive on either
the overall votes or the PPMC votes that it can now be referred
to Apache legal and trademarking for a decision, either on the
main choice, or if this proves unacceptable for some legal reason,
a clear alternative.
If we were a well-established and long-functioning group, I would agree
with you 100% about excessive postmortems. But, we aren't. This sort of
thing is both necessary and informative – as long as we don't create a
thread longer than the [VOTE]! ;-)
