Thanks, Clay!

I'll add that while it may appear that Clay and I always disagree, I
think he is profoundly honest in his feedback and I value it very much.

In particular, I agree with his recent blogpost: we need to listen to
our users (operators, but also application developers), and focus on our
mission more than on governance details. It is important for open source
projects to have a strong governance model, but it is only the frame
that holds the canvas and defines the space. The important part is the
painting.
