IMHO that is taken out of context.

He was talking to a user who had some particular/interesting security
cases that didn't make much sense. They were talking about a
hypothetical user in one of those cases, not the person he was talking
to. At least thats the way I read it... but I guess I will stop trying
to defend anyone and let them do it themselves.

Sure, but I disagree that it's as bad as people make out...

Anyhow, the council is of course free to redo anything they like.

I do hope they will make sure they have sufficient people available if
they decide to take over / replace the existing group.
