So you're saying that devrel shouldn't and won't step in if developers |

refuse to go along with a council decision? |

Except for council decisions involving having devrel fire people, of |
| 26 |
course. You may not be aware, but those are discussed in private on a |
| 27 |
different IRC network to stop those evil Freenode people who don't |
| 28 |
actually have any powers on Freenode from eavesdropping on secret |
| 29 |
conversations using the backdoor they placed in the code they didn't |
| 30 |
actually write. |
