I never read the GLEP till this came up. I suspect most others are in |
| 10 |
the same boat. It's not like part of our recruitment process requires |
| 11 |
people to read all GLEPs. So it should not be assumed people read or |
| 12 |
care about them :) |

That's the nature of open source. No one cares till you do. Things are |
| 22 |
ignored till one cares about it. Then everyone else has opinions. Thus |

this never came up before, so no one cared. Now that it has, a very |
| 24 |
small fraction cares. A vast majority is.... |
