To me, this looks like a terrible _absence_ of any leadership. A
'mediation' process that results in nothing but confirming the status quo
does not sound like it was even undertaken in good faith.

It's not the community that gives me second thoughts about my involvement.
Rather the current release and d-i project heads. I understand that
everyone is a bit tense, with the release schedule slipping and all that.
But this does not excuse anything, really.

While I had my run-ins with Sven over the years, I can only agree
wholeheartedly. I hope a way can be found to keep him. For the time being,
my confidence in Debian and the upcoming etch release hit another all time
