There are clearly two strongly held but incompatible views on the nature of Mentoring and governance at Apache. Either find constructive ways to blend them, or remove the destructive minority. I believe in community led development, and that community building is an art that requires judgment not a science that can be planned. I back Ant and the Mentors who allowed River, Cassandra etc the space they needed to find and build their communities. I stand by our decision to allow Kato time to try to resolve it's external problems. I have not been persuaded that I'm wrong but I'm no longer will to argue. Either accept my minority opinion or remove my karma. I do understand now that there is a majority who are frustrated with the poor quality of our reporting. I'm frustrated too.
