Hi Guys,

Yep, I don't need to stand in the way, +1 to that. And I've never favored c=
ode freezes either. It didn't affect me b/c I don't really have my hands in=
 the Lucy code other than to help release it when I'm needed, but in genera=
l I'm not in favor of it.

+1 to that -- Marvin and I have had that discussion before and I think he i=
s open to seeing others step up. Right, Marvin? ^_^

+1.

Agreed! I'm best used to do release management since I do most of that on m=
y other projects, besides periodic patches and development. If I do it enou=
gh on Lucy, I'm definitely +1 for having a say in the direction of how rele=
ases get pushed through and I hope everyone is open to that.

Cheers,
Chris
