All that I can see here is a reluctance to vote for any person who may happen to work for Red Hat, regardless of group or duty. The conclusion I jump to is that by not wanting to vote for these people, they are somehow less qualified for the job, or less likely to do a good job than somebody else. It seems that the reasons given aren't specific to the individual, just the generic label of being a Red Hat employee. That's what I take offense to, or at least sadness to. I honestly hoped that people would be voting due to individual concerns rather than paycheck signers. Did I get voted in because I work for Red Hat? I certainly hope not, but at the same time I would certainly hope that somebody else /wouldn't/ get voted in next time just because they /do/ work for Red Hat. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature!
