In case my references to individualsmade it unclear: I have no reason to
suspect _any_ of the present TAB members would; everything I know about
them points to them being good, honest and principled people.

It is definitely reassuring to hear you say that.

It certainly _should_ be the most important; IMHO the sentence should end
after 'everyone'.

I think there are important differences between code to be run by CPUs
and a Code to be run by humans. And when the author goes on a victory
lap on Twitter and declares the Code to be "a political document", is
it any surprise I'm worried?
Applying extra scrutiny to a political document written by someone with a
history ofstirring up political antagonism is like checking the locking
extra-carefully in a patch from a developer who has a history of letting
locking bugs slip through.
