I'd love to be a part of this discussion, but I won't be at the
FUDcon. I'd be happy to block time on calendars and such to
attend/discuss remotely.
Well the discussion needs to be now til FUDcon. At FUDcon the die will
be cast and rubicon will be crossed. Then by next July, I will be
stabbed by my fellow senators going "Et Tu Inode0?"
