Al and Christoph said essentially the same thing and they generally
are considered the general area filesystem maintainers.
This kind of thing does not appear to have come up before and
so procedurally you guys are setting are attempting to set
a precedent.
All I know is that doing it the way you are doing seems like a bad
idea. Not discussing things or even the reason you can't discuss them
seems foolish and leaves no one satisfied.
Maybe there are good reasons but so far this whole thing just stinks.
When all of the pieces are public how can having secret veiled reasons
make sense?
And if secret magic consultations with lawyers are going to be invoked
I expect we should have a Signed-off-by from those lawyers.
