Ah. In which case it would be wrong of me to criticize his
comments on the RM process (though I would hope that his work would
lead him to channels more conducive to fruition than a diatribe on
-devel).
However, seems to me that the criticism was levelled at DSA
and the buildd-admin folks; in which case all of us not working on
those tasks would be bystanders.
I should note that Ingo ought not to be considered a
bystander, seeing that he is indeed involved in adminning a potential
buildd machine.
I don't consider asking for people to be replaced, as opposed
to bringing the issues of concern to the attention of the DPL and
other interested parties in a _friendly_ manner, to be very
productive.
