Yeah, you get to hear my words voiced by Rael (I participated by IRC due

We tried to put a positive case for the design decisions taken in the
1.0 proposal. It wasn't the right place to go into the politics,
personalities, and history. I suspect FoRK may be such a place (Rohit,
kick us off if you'd rather we had this thread elsewhere).

For the curious and the MP3 enabled, the roundtable discussion is all
