Hi Andrew,

Is there any chance you could rework such comments to
instead explain which changes would be required for you
to vote in favor of bylaws? This would be very helpful.

Also, responding here to your announce at openjdk.java.net question:

As several of us mentioned, the GB was opposed to indefinitely
using old rules for new projects under the possibility of
indefinite legal review stalls. But now that we have a
definite schedule for ratification, we agree that living under
old rules for a finite period for JDK8 makes sense, and is our
response to the unhappiness expressed by some on this list.
