FUD? Seems to me that he's talking about a very real dark-side of the ASF. You know - the side of Apache where certain individuals enjoy playing with private lists, protected themselves while at same time spreading lies, slander, and real fear. Mix this with the incubator and you have a recipe for abuse. Yes - there should be a code of conduct. Yes - everyone should be accountable - including each and every member of the board. Will it happen? It seems to me a highly unlikely scenario. Just my 0.02c.
