Yup. I believe this to be an unfortunate (at least from my standpoint) but and extremely fair observation. As far as I'm concerned the issue of R&Rs of IPMC is in a state of a stalemate right now. We clearly have a "everything's fine lets just add more policy" constituency vs. "IPMC should be small and more board like" crowd. The good news is that we're all united on making sure that the foundation is growing by podlings making progress and graduating to TLPs. The bad news is that because of the current mentality I don't see the types of unfortunate threads that Ignite just went through going away anytime soon. This is that proverbial "political overhead" that a lot of folks are accusing ASF of and cite as a reason of not going into the foundation. Which is grossly unfair at the board level, but unfortunately seems to be very true at IPMC level today. It is clear to me that the change has very little chance of coming from within IPMC.
