22 I'm more than happy to state again that I am not opposed to allowing someone
23 back, as a user or a developer, after a period of supervision to ensure they
24 truly have turned things around for the better. People can change, no doubt
25 there, but I am also not foolish or naïve enough to think it happens over
26 night or with every person.
