the fact people allow tools like apache RAT to rot, yet somehow can
find glitches in dozens of repos tells me priorities are whacked.

For example, the last release justin found a second header on a file
that said it was temporary (now deleted)

did he manually look at hundreds of files to see that? If not, why are
the tools we are supposed to use hamstrung? A correct optimization is
empowering projects to succeed on their own. RAT is a part of that.
Why are there better tools not available? Why is a second license a
"ISSUE" that needs to be discussed in consideration of whether a vote
is 3+1 days or 3+3 days. The bias is towards making things problems,
not putting them in perspective or addressing long held issues that
make this whole thing eggshell (ex RAT)
