Simon,

At the risk of repeating Doug, every piece of community feedback has been
considered in detail. Of course, that is not the same thing as saying that
every piece of feedback has been incorporated.

The bottleneck here is Oracle's legal review process. I know that the Oracle
folks are pushing it through as hard as they can, but it does appear that
they are vastly under-resourced on the legal side. Everyone working on this
shares the frustrations expressed on this list about how long it's taking.
Especially because we think we've actually done some pretty good work on the
bylaws.
