I read Chris McDonough's defence of Tim Peters and he has convinced me. Not because of everything he said but because I have experience of committees. And other things.
The problem is generational.
Later generations can see the faults of earlier generations in brilliant hindsight. I certainly did.
As another self-proclaimed troglodyte weighing in, I'm always suspicious of authority shifting with limited explanations, which seems to have been at the heart of the dispute. Questioning such is a responsibility many of us take seriously.
However, I'd just like to point out: cultures evolve. Inclusivity is no longer obtained, as in our younger days, by saying "suck it up and get on with it". The steering council has this in their charter - PEP-13. These are not people who are making difficult choices for reasons of personal aggrandizement.
