True. But IMHO he wanted to mention that there are some more

are always different opinions and it is good to have them.
Well, first of all the clarification came too late and only because
I decided to request it. I was weary of discussions with other
ambassadors where nobody really knew what is going on. That resulted
in wrong assumptions and such things. It took me quite a while to
get into the stuff and, as I wrote in my initial mail, there where
still open questions. I got the answers quite fast here, but the
discussions were already ongoing.
I see that FAmSCo is following the rules and council decision, but
the rules have some scope you should be aware of and use in a wise
way:
* candidates are fredlima, gnokii and mitzie. They are three of the
candidates @election. What about the other candidates? We do not
know how the election would have gone if candidate list would have
been valid. And numbers of votes were quite close to each other. I
really expect an answer for that selection, people who voted for
other candidates could interpret that as censorship! I really
believe that everyone just wants the best for Fedora, but FAmSCo has
to be much more carefully here. I got these censorship voices
@community (again, no names to be discreet) and we *must* avoid
that.
* It should be in the interest of FAmSCo to solve that issue in a
transparent (by means of well information for community) and clean
(by considering all candidates or even a new election) way. Of
course there will be still unhappy people because they would have
seen different results. But then you are on the safe side and can
say "Hey, that's democracy". Don't get me wrong, I don't want to
blame anyone here, but I feel some people are already stopping to
trust in (the shiny new) FAmSCo and that would be *really* bad :(
That is all within the scope of applying the vacant seat rule, as
you already know there are others who consider complete new
elections. Again, I really believe that everybody wants the best for
the community, but I feel that I have to draw your attention to the
community voices I got. My intention is to get things clear to them.
But that is also FAmSCo's task and for example some information on
mailing list(s) could help the people here.
