Core is not a legal entity, just a mail list, can't sue.

Foundation is in USA.  Accused is not.  USA law & morals not pre-emptive.
Other countries have laws, courts & morals. Leave it to them & non tech lists.

Orange haired person wrote lots of good code, an asset not to loose.

Let's have current_at_ writeable only by subscribers as a mild troll deterent.

Cheers,
Julian
