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.
