The surprise came because people did not expect Sarge release
to be delayed (I personally thought we would just put in an apology
for not quite meeting the SC in the release notes, myself).

I think anyone who did not read the ballot they used to vote
on is indeed lazy, and did not o due diligence.
But, if you think calling him lazy is unfair, but him implying
I deceived him is fair, I amnot sure I can continue this

The heading was what the GR was discussed under for 5 months,
and was on the draft ballot. How come no one corrected me and told me
my heading was incorrect _then_, rahter than bitching after the fact
and implying I misled people by choosing that heading?

Chapter and verse, please. Which mailing list? Which post?
Where was the issue of it ont being "editorial" raised that I

Or you think implying that I discarded objections to the
title without proof is fair, but me calling people who did not read
the ballot is unfair?
