Not answering for gerv, but I would say: he is the human shield, against all influences, inside and outside!

He's only one guy, and he has the entire battle field to deal with. Every time he moves to the left, the right mobs him. Every time he moves to the right, the left undermines him.

The result is bad, but it isn't his fault, it's the fault of the situation he is in. However, at least we have a result! Before he was there, the only thing we had was random experimentation (like Gerv's much missed yellow bar) and corporate denial of the issue.

But "the ecosystem" isn't our representative on the CAB Forum. Our
current representative is Johnathan Nightingale, our "Human Shield" and
security and user experience expert.


So Jon goes to CAB Forum with a mandate to speak for the end-users, without any input from Mozilla, the browser vendor?
