to me, it seems reasonable to pull Gavin's commit authority if there is nonsense corroboration coming from his account that potentially undermines the stability and even potential feasibility of bitcoin (if bitcoin were to be taken over by easy changes in governance that were represented in XT and Classic, for example).  

Nonetheless, removing Gavin's commit access seems as if it could cause some controversy from some of the big blocker folks who tend to proclaim that XT and Classic were benign in their coupe attempts....  

Gotta see how this plays out, no?  

Hopefully, we are going to be able to return to regular programing - which seems to had been that we were within an imminent and pending bull run.
