It WILL be an issue, definitely. But it will be so only when disfunctionning
appear. IOW, if as you state it we have another 6 months of progress without any
glitch, with thoughtful exchanges and enriching cross corrections, we won't even
need to take a look at the charter. If there's a disfunctionning, then it'll be
there to spare us bad time.

Titles, dunno. Call them whatever you want, the thing is, there are roles that
must be assumed. I personally don't care about titles, if at some point you want
to give the roles (that will stay formal only as long as there's no need to
implement them) other names, feel free to do so. This is not about titles, my ego
has a lot better to feel good with, so hierarchy and titles in this organization
leave me completely indifferent in any regard but added efficiency in work.

You might want to learn that it brings nothing positive to rehash the bad things
of the past between people who are not to stay with each other. We're making this
charter to give core a new boost without the kind of glitches core recently had.

Anyway, you voted and I voted, I guess there isn't much to add...
