Why does that rationale not hold for all other aspects of the community, Keith? How can you ever trust the ON team not to subvert the core of the operating system? How can you trust the packaging system to have integrity? How can you trust that the documentation will not denigrate or misrepresent a key function? How can we all trust the OGB not to make arbitrary decisions? > Trust is built from accountability and a track record of good > decisions.

So you're saying that the right resolution to the ftpd bug would have been for the OGB to form a sub-committee that did the work of the CG responsible for it? S.
