Do you think Microsoft managers tell their subordinates to "kiss and make up" over things like this?

    @Chris,

    Jeff does not, and never has made "a living through GNOME". All his contributions to GNOME over the many years he has been involved (including when he was release manager) have been on his own personal time. Please be sure about what you say, there are enough painful mistruths already.
