	Given that you are in complete control of what (some people want to)
become the desktop platform; in lieu of a mixed bag of apps that is
Gnome. Given that - it seems reasonable that being in constant close
proximity, the same company etc. seems to lend a certain advantage.

	Sure; I think my concern is more with demanding that directional
disclosure, and discussion[1] happens outside of North Carolina, rather
than with your maintainership on any technical level.

      forest elsewhere undiscussed.
