13 I believe that jakub finds this devrel decision a step out of bounds
14 (not sure if anyone else detected the that in his statement) and saying
15 that to the java folks is moreso a way of pointing out just how silly it
16 is :) I mean if he was serious, he would have addressed the PHP
17 overlay, the webapps overlay...etc...

24 Look, I was on IRC yesterday, the whole thing was a mess. For once I'm
25 not going to step on devrels balls for this one. Someone had to do
26 something. For once I'm tired of *someone acting* and then getting
27 nailed for it because its not their place. Am I thrilled with the
28 outcome? No not really. Apparently neither is Jakub. Thats all fine.
29 Can always overturn it later. Or we can discuss it endlessly here
30 with no outcome, or we can make the council decide on what the proper
31 use of bugzilla is. Or we can all realize that we can't get our way all
32 the time and compromise with other projects*.
