The goal of keeping it open is to remove (as much as we can) the |
19 |
possibility of recourse (legal or otherwise). In practice I think we'd |
20 |
tend to communicate with the community, but there are times where we may |
21 |
need to keep something more private. I don't want to write ourselves |
22 |
into a corner where we HAVE to do something one way, or if something is |
23 |
not listed as a reason to kick someone we can't get rid of them (we |
24 |
missed something). |
