Oh really? They are refusing to give any vague indication? That's news to me.

Seems pretty detailed to me.

Honestly, if we want to have a constructive debate, let's save the FUD
and instead approach the issue sensibly. The LWG and the OSMF are some
of the most respected people in the entire project, who have been
working for literally *years* now on getting the best possible result
for the project. Spreading rumours and attacking them isn't helping.
If you need some more information, or you think something isn't clear,
or if you find something that you want more information on, or if you
want to offer to help, then let's keep it constructive and positive.

Cheers,
Andy
