them being nice and all is nice however they are causing real problems and stirring drama for troubles that they caused

I don't really understand the reasoning behind vouching for them when they are currently creating problems and haven't really tried to solve anything besides creating enough drama to (what it seems to me) try and force themselves back into direct repository access

I kinda of see their past and current actions as ways to maintain a position of power which is quite problematic as they still haven't addressed a key concern being their conflict of interest from working with Anduril

being nice is good for maintaining good social cohesion and whatnot but stirring shit and creating real problems kinda negates it

I'm personally not convinced

Absolutely, I didn't mean my comment as excuse or justification. I personally don't want any sponsored people on the board. Defense contractor or otherwise.

I'm still trying to disentangle the "stirring up drama" part though.
