Since in another thread you made it clear you interpret even my polite requests as the demands of authority, let me stress that I have a couple questions for you in my personal capacity, that I think would inform the discussion and that you are free to ignore – though I hope you won't. (And in the future, please take that statement above as read if I preface my remarks with 'speaking personally' or the like). So, speaking personally, I understand clearly that you object to Matt being part of a core team, but I'd like to understand the *mechanism* by which you think that will change the evolution of DBIC. Even if Matt were not on a core team, or even if he didn't have PAUSE permissions, I don't think he would disappear from the project. I think he would – if he desired – continue to advocate for his points of view, much as he does in many other parts of the Perl ecosystem where he doesn't have administrative authority. Therefore, I'd like to understand whether you think Matt not being on the core team has merely symbolic power, or whether you think it has a tangible effect and, if so, how you see that working in practice? Personally, I don't see how it could have anything beyond symbolic value, so given that you object to Matt's influence, I think it would be more effective to identify and advocate for the elevation of contrasting points of view for a "checks and balances" approach. To that end, I appreciate that – in proposing your own view of a possible core team you could support – you've decided to identify some people you think could play a leadership role. Irrespective of whether they are interested, I think that's a constructive step, so I thank you for being willing to do so. Regards, David -- David Golden <x...@xdg.me> Twitter/IRC/GitHub: @xdg
