Above all, learn to stop speaking like a White House press secretary. Robin Linden's statement on increasing the group limit can mean whatever you want it to mean, addresses none of the issues raised in MISC-208, and merely left most of us feeling spun to death.

A classic misuse of language is talking about the 'Tao' (most of us abandoned the Wade-Giles transliteration a generation ago) of Linden and then using it to achieve distinctly unDaoist ends. If MISC-208 does not merit the attention of any Linden, why does Robin leap into print on New World Notes replying to it? How can a JIRA issue run 7 months and no Linden bother themself to take responsibility for it? A non-issue would not merit Robin's attention. Robin confirms it is a real issue in her statement and a Linden should have taken responsibility. That one has not seems to prove the JIRA means nothing.

'not my department' does not fly as an explanation. One way for a Linden to address an issue is to assign themself responsibility and make it their business to find a Linden in a position to address it.

Perhaps if a JIRA issue runs long enough and gains a certain level of support then a Linden, perhaps even Grand Linden Philip or one chosen at random, should make it their business to address the issue on the JIRA itself. Orwellian language and evading responsibility are not ways for a company to achieve its vaunted vision.
