"We" is the council -- we had a quick discussion on the private council list
(which we normally reserve for sensitive things). I asked Jan to file a
public ticket about it because I agree this should be a public
discussion. It's a mess and we need to figure out how to reset it in a
way that restores confidence.

I had meant a ticket to discussion reseting everything, but in that
conversation, everyone on the council who chimed in was in favor of
restarting, so ... I guess I didn't communicate that clearly enough to
Jan, for which I apologize. (There's a bunch of other stuff going on
today and I was terse.)

All of that said, I don't think there was any *malice* here -- just a
series of unfortunately ad hoc decisions. I really do think resetting
and doing it better and more clearly is the best way forward.

Because they were inconsistent too, and it's _really_ better to run
them all at the same time.
