6 You are right, there's not much difference. However, I brought up the topic because
7 I felt like this particular situation was a bit of a problem that needed to be
8 addressed. Yours is also one that can/should potentially be addressed, and I advise
9 you to recommend the council discuss it as well.

11 My goal wasn't to point fingers or to call anyone lazy. My goal was to address that
12 if development in this certain area has stagnated, how can those of us who it
13 affects continue to move forward? This is simply an area that is "gray" and needs
14 to be discussed. There are many other gray areas that need to be discussed too.

16 I understand we all have real lives and are volunteers. But if there are areas that
17 we are responsible for and we aren't able to meet the needs/demands of the other
18 developers in those areas, it's only fair to let them continue moving forward.

20 I never even mentioned any specific arch in my original request, nor did I call any
21 developer out. So please, nobody needs to take this personally.
