And we do need to look at Ambari as a precedent. Even now the PMC has 30 members from one company and 7 from other companies. No other company has more than two PMC members and all of the top 24 contributors are from the majority company. I would be very surprised if this project could survive a withdrawal of support from that one company. Yet we graduated Ambari without a peep. Not surprisingly, most of the votes were cast by employees of that one company. But nobody complained at all. So it behooves us as some critique Ignite for lack of diversity to ask whether precedent matters at all here. Does it?
