Hi Jonas, To clarify:
- There is absolutely no indication that anyone tried to pressure anyone into doing anything. Board's comment can be seen as to wanting to prevent such leverage to become possible in the future, by establishing a precedent of keeping prematurely published XEPS published. - Board had another reason for wanting the prematurely published XEP to be retracted: by publishing a XEP, the XSF might (or even: "intends to") trigger third parties to start spending resources (on implementing the XEP). When a XEP is published by mistake, it is therefor important to reduce the risk of more people starting to base work off of it, by retracting it as soon as possible. Thank you for flagging this, and act swiftly to rectify. Mistakes happen. It's how they're followed up on that characterizes them.
