Now do as I asked and shut up.
Actually, the security team was operating all the time under the expectation that the person should be a developer, despite the public statement on the list (as has already been said). Nor for that matter is it unreasonable for me to make a suggestion late in the day; it is for the appropriate people to decide whether or not they want to take the suggestion--where that is the security team--and I'm happy to let them take whatever suggestions I might offer and do with them what they think fit. As for why I didn't bring it up sooner: I simply hadn't noticed it sooner. I don't therefore void my right to bring it up, though the security team would be well within its rights to decide that it's too late to change things. Thomas
