c'mon, Bill, that's needless snark. It's clear what Christoph meant: the
desktop team has a lack of non-RH contributors. That was the point he
was making. I think it's stretching to suggest that he was trying to
make some kind of argument that people who work for RH aren't members of
the community. You can interpret that from his words if you try really
hard, but I really severely doubt it was intended.
