Well, who is really disrupting the community?!?

People like John Smith with a "usually high volume output", or the 
people who are talking about a license change for years now, without 
doing the necessary steps to finish that change in any appropriate 
amount of time?

The license status of: "Not knowing what will happen and when" going on 
for so long, has IMHO already done much more damage to the 
project/community, than what a John Smith alone can ever do to it ...


So please don't ban people from the mailing list for this (as this will 
also create new problems), but finally fix the underlying problem!!!

Regards, ULFL

P.S: John, please don't take this personally - you were the obvious example!
