It demonstrates some really wise restraint on behalf of the Novell
suits,  like they actually understand how to stay out of the
developement process.  Letting Ximian have a legitimate leadership role
should really help their credibility with the community (except of
course all those slashdot'ers - nothing will ever please them).

Even the Janitorial process described seems like a process designed by
and for really top-drawer people.  {Real top-drawer people tend not to
bitch about having to hoe-the-row to get to the other end}.
