I think you just foretold the end of the universe too...

Baldrick had a plan, and look where that got him.  But then he wasn't
exactly the visionary leader...

Anyway, from what it seems from Slashdot, DRobbins' blog, and f.g.o
there is overwhelming user support for him to return (of course there
are some users against the idea).  But what about the "devs"?  The
support for DR seems to be less enthusiastic as you rise further up the
gentoo hierarchy. But then if he is blocked at the critical trustee
level, then either b. will happen, or he'll just return to the
background...
