Right, I do appreciate this, but when I brought up questions about
that exact wiki page it turned into a 100+ thread on the mailing list
as more and more people chimed in about their misunderstanding of the
points outlined on this page. At this point I feel that those bits are
cleared up. I have a better understanding of what the Board is trying
to do, I don't have any objections at this time, and I don't want it
to seem as though I am trying to start fires or undermine anyone's
efforts. This truly was all for the sake of clarification, or that was
at least the intention.

The Spins SIG discussed this in our last meeting. I don't know who
will be delivering the "official statement" on it though so I won't
really speak to this as I don't feel I a am in a place to really speak
for the entire SIG but I did participate in the discussion.
