Re: 2.12 press release quotes

[David Neary <dneary free fr>]

Hi,

Are these quotes representative of what we stand for, though?

I'd like someone to say "we're proud of the work that this community has 
done, and proud of this release, which is the result of that work." 
Frankly, I don't think the community is too bothered about the fact that 
we added new features (mentioned twice) so much as having worked 
together to arrive at a result we're proud of.

Cheers,
Dave.
