FWIW, as you guessed, I was recalling the role of DPL in such situations. Everyone has the right to ask for expulsions. It is up the team in charge to decide on the matter. I agree that the issue at hand should have been dealt with in 2014 or 2015 (where most of the damage was done). But we cannot cross arms and wait until things move away. I still believe we can find an acceptable solution for both parties (which doesn't mean both stand on their initial position and we are able to find magical solutions…). So discussing with both is still useful. (at least IMHO). So "way too late" (maybe yes) but still not useless! -- Mehdi
