It's not a "facade" - it is *more* transparency vs. less.  Given this 
began with a rather inflamatory email claiming Keith Packard was going 
around behind everyone's back, I would think you would be glad to see 
these conversations publicly posted.

I'm hesitant to even send this mail, but I really feel the need to say 
it.  I have found some of the posts on this list petty and vindictive.  
That serves noone's interests and only hurts open-source in general.  I 
am merely an X user; so I suppose my opinion matters little.

For my part, I am grateful for the posted transcript.
