I don't know what the rest of the hardened team thinks, but at least I |
| 28 |
advocate for everybody to have a saying in this kind of discussions as |
| 29 |
even if the decision has been taken it is not always late enough to |
| 30 |
change it if it is a bad one. Seeing the discussion you can see that |
| 31 |
Aaron hasn't participated before and was just sharing his point of view, |
| 32 |
I don't see where the problem with that. In fact he was exposing some |
| 33 |
data which had not been provided in the discussion prior to the |
| 34 |
announcement. |

Again it is just my opinion so feel free to correct me if you feel I'm |
| 37 |
wrong. |
