Eric, as always, thank you for your valuable feedback.
You comments are helpful, insightful, well-presented and logical. 
Your step by step addressing of individual points in any argument, your 
ability to recognise crucial issues and begin dealing with them before they 
have any negative impact, your natural perceptiveness, awareness of 
developers rights, respect for developers opinions, you ability to 
objectively arbitrate disputes, to broker a compromise when possible and your 
open,public communication style have long been assets to this project.
I shudder to think where this project would be if you hadn't been available 
to 
represent our wishes and coordinate with the individual teams in the lead up 
to this major 1.0 release.
