I think the only reason why their commit privs were being threatened
was *only* because of the 'debug' fiasco -- which wasn't something the
entire team was behind.  I think it was a poor choice by Kay too.

Well, now that its become a *racist* spiteful rant, I'm *sure* it's
based on well-reasoned thought.
