Richard, I agree with you.
I feel we could have made more progress, but things take the time they need.

I am not against an interim TSC, but I would like to see some openness
of the board on how they feel they should move forward. Guess it'll be
after FOSDEM though (if I interpreted Graeme's message properly).
I can imagine we do not want to waste another 6 weeks or so on voting
for a new TSC, but I think it is desirable that the way forward is
clear for and backed by the community.

Best regards, Frans.
