I know Brett said he was working on getting this. I would like to hope 
this wouldn't be an issue.

Okay, it appears we have some consensus: not letting it delay 2.0 is 
certainly decisive.

Given Bart's suggestion, I'll take a two-pronged approach, which is to 
approach directly but if there's no reply very soon (as is likely), ask 
the FSF to do it directly as well.... attack from all sides ;-). I intend 
to mail Tony Moretto, Mark Webbink, and also this time, Michael Tiemann, 
and hopefully we can work something out. I'll CC this list of course.
