        Great; thank you for that re-assurance, it encourages me yet further
wrt. Apache's governance, and answers yet more of my remaining
questions, perhaps all.

        It still leaves something you can't answer though: whether it is Rob's
understanding of IBM's intention to camouflage such changes or to flag
them all openly and clearly. Ultimately with a suite of 8+ million
lines, packed with obscure features, and thousands of lines of change a
day it is fairly easy to slip things in, to the potential detriment of
other users of the code.

        Thanks,

                Michael.
