I guess it's not clear that we were working on/discussing this problem |
| 12 |
internally. Because we were aware how things would be perceived. Once |
| 13 |
there was a leak, you can see the result. Mountain out of a mole hill. |

Not that I am proud of it, but I did kinda start all this recently. |
| 16 |
There was a reason I took it to -core, verses other public lists. With |
| 17 |
full intention on being transparent on -nfp once things were in order. |

Been there done that. Made this post |

Which turned into flames, ended up being referenced on distrowatch.com, |
| 26 |
and likely others. With a quote from a one of the postings in the |
| 27 |
thread :( |

Drama then, and drama now. We really don't need it. It does nothing for |
| 32 |
productivity or moving things forward. Due to past lesson learned, tried |
| 33 |
to resolve this internally, before it was blown out of proportion |
| 34 |
externally. |
