Sorry, I did not mean to imply that you are one with the license-revokers.
More like "if even Al Viro thinks you fucked up your process, it would be
unwise to dismiss the opposition to the CoC as mere trolls".

*I* can't dismiss it, because I read my mail. Apparently lots of people think
that it is *my* job to fix this mess, or at least to give it a good hard
try. I doubt they're trolling; what would be the point?
