Yes. I didn't handle the announcement well, and I should have avoided the (untrue) appearance of conflict of interest by asking someone else to make the announcement. Joel has kindly volunteered to make announcements in the future if this situation comes up again. This appointment isn't supposed to be a slap in the face for anyone not appointed. It's supposed to get us out of bad situation: Vladimir can now approve MI patches, including yours, so you won't have to sit around waiting for me to look at them. I have every confidence that he will be better about it than I was, and that he will listen when there's a disagreement about the right choices. If I wasn't confident, I would have objected to the appointment. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
