A competition still has to be judged by someone.

The only curious element here is that a (the?) judge also had the winning entry. Russ claims he got buy-in from the other core members and so far no one has contradicted that.

AND...vgo is better than dep. Let's not forget that. Peter can hem and haw about politics but in the end the best horse won.

Go developers want the tools to be as good as possible, 99% of them don't know anyone who contributes to Go by name so this drama is irrelevant to them.

Nobody has worked with minimum version selection and compared it to the traditional approach enough to know. I have serious reservations as to how it will work in practice.

After reading TFA, which tries to be self-serving but is mostly just silly, do you even doubt it? I say this as someone with no dog in any Go fight. When the defendant's own testimony convicts himself, he's guilty.
