Unfortunately, anyone who felt strongly about things could easily (and
reasonably) take it another way.
After all, no one at all is claiming incompetence on the part of our
ever-vigilant
Bubble Queen of the River Ganga, but some people are talking about how much
they preferred the way our effervescent but bitwise conservative used to do
things.
Unfortunately, our cheery (and occasionally quite cheeky, as that "poll"
clearly proved!) but effervescent Sarasvati has decided that the way things
used to be is some way not preferred, and that the list server of our
forward looking group must cater to the needs of older systems (which
apparently were never working adequately up till now?).
At least they still allow people to vote at UTC meetings. :-)
