55 I see Diego's actions as "cleaning up" the QA team.
56 Some members of the QA team have left it because they got tired of how
57 some people in the QA team would not respect some rules and do
58 everything to prevent QA team from being able to enforce them.
59 Unfortunately, Tomas is not the first member to leave because of this.
60 If the actions of Diego make Tomas and the others want to get back to
61 QA, I'll consider this whole issue a success.
62
63 Markos,
64
65 the worst thing that I, looking from the outside, noticed about QA was
66 how some members were too quick at using the "QA hammer" to impose their
67 ideas to others, but always found ways not to follow some established
68 policies and not to get them applied to themselves.
69
70 As a council member, I am very happy to see Diego trying to "fix" QA,
71 doing his best to enforce policies and caring about the tree not being
72 broken.
