Victor, firstly what you described about the TSC interaction does not really refute what I said about it being mostly alignment or the fundamental discussion happening on the PR.
Secondly, I think you’re blowing this completely out of proportion. I’m sorry to say this, but it’s really no wonder some people have become wary about working with you, if you react to being rejected by spouting unsupported allegations against the entire governance structure.
As I said before, we have many ways of improving measurement and benchmarking in the ROS community without going the REP route. The TSC has suggested as much in their detailed response. Lets focus on that and not waste any more time tilting at windmills.
