In reply to Nick.

Hope your right Nick. I've been doing a weekly news show for the last 2 and a half years, it's had me delving deeper into things than I otherwise would, and reading articles to cover that I otherwise wouldn't and meeting on the panel people from all over the community, and I see lots of threads and opinions that leave me with concern and a bit of cynicism on top. To the point its burned me out a bit with how much it spins my position back and forth covering the whole Gutenberg project. And it's contributed to why I've now retired from that show as of end of September.
I still have a lot of optimism too though, but I refuse to go all in on the full benefit of doubt these days. Just trying to apply critical thinking based on all the things I hear.

So I'm hoping you are right about your assumptions about the leadership. That would be the best outcome.
