We don't plan on going around and making changes without discussing |
| 13 |
issues with the maintainers. We put this in so that if the maintainer |
| 14 |
is unwilling to work with us for some reason, that we are able to come |
| 15 |
up with what we believe to be the best fix. As I said earlier in the |
| 16 |
document, we plan to work as much with maintainers as possible, but |
| 17 |
sometimes that may prove to be impossible. |
