Honest series of questions from an outsider:

Your team won, Michael stepped down. Of his own volition. What positive outcome could possibly be had by still spouting bitterness and negativity against him? Is it because he did not genuinely say "sorry" at some point? After reading [0] and [1], is it not possible to admit that maybe both sides have some genuine "sorries" to pass around? Now seems like the perfect opportunity to make a positive change for developers and users instead of venting frustrations that are only going to further polarize the current division.

(I'm not "automatically" labelling your posts as bitter. Almost all of yours in these comments objectively contain negative language, typically directed at Michael.)

Edit, to add:

I guess I echo this sentiment (from article's email chain): http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2015-July/176493.ht...
