I have seen a few mentions in the past weeks about core vs. non-core
developers. I should reiterate that the core group feels there is no
distinction between the opinions of the core people and the other major
developers. Everyone gets just one vote.
The only reason for core is to deal with certain "sensitive" issues that
can't be dealt with in public forums, and making _big_ decisions like
should we release on Friday or Monday. ;-)
