9 You can't in one breath complain that the trustees need to be doing more,
10 and then in another say that if they actually do what they are supposed to
11 be doing, you're going to leave the project. That is a catch-22 situation
12 seemingly designed to benefit no one except for those who desire to
13 continue to whine and complain but without the actual initiative to start
14 their own Open Source project.

16 It is very clear what the authority of the trustees is. You making threats
17 on mailing lists about consequences for the trustees exercising their fully
18 justified legal authority is not a great position to put yourself in.
