Bill, I think you chose the wrong example to support your case. (:

Ralf has a point, we all need to realize that we are on the same side 
here.  There is a growing perception (valid or not, doesn't matter) that 
some (Core/rh) folks are thumbing their noses and/or slighting the 
significance of community-participatory groups, such as FESCo and the 
Packaging Committee.  Such nonsense needs to stop.
