Not really.  I, for one, don't know who or what to believe at this 
point.  Various accusations have been thrown back and forth, and, beyond 
this this list (and a few off-list via-email asides that have been 
friendly and positive), I don't personally know any of the people 
involved.  My guess would be that that's the case for most people 
lurking and not participating in the discussion.

While I won't try to speak for everyone, some of us are here to hear 
about Linux/computing-related news, ask technical questions, help out 
when we can when others have technical questions, etc.  I don't care 
about the politics.  I don't care about contention over who "owns" the 
picnic, the domain names, the mailing lists, the servers, etc.  I 
understand and respect that some people on this list do, the S/N ratio 
of this list is just ridiculously low because of these threads, and it's 
disappointing.

Anyhow, I fear I'm merely contributing to the noise, so I'll try to keep 
quiet on this topic from now on...
