Failing in just about every possible way since 05. No financial |

reporting, and culmination was charter being revoked in 07. |

Fail safes, so get over it. Your making it a much bigger deal than it |
| 14 |
is. |

That should likely be looked at but is the council's place. |

Possibly, priorities. |

Another option, but not doing anything and letting projects/teams suffer |
| 29 |
is not a solution either. |

Both Java and amd64 suffered from my time loss to the |
| 32 |
trustees/foundation. Both will gain now from my resignation. Even then, |
| 33 |
if I dropped amd64, that's more focus for Java. But really I did amd64 |
| 34 |
as a compliment to Java. Since there were delays with keywording and |
| 35 |
stabilization. |
