Not only is this the active majority of Discovery's development team, it's a only the portion that this course of action was discussed with. You may expect to see additional names pop up on the list, as @Geoffacake has.
- The motivation behind the post.
This is not a revolt, an idle threat, or an act of hate against Discovery. The developers listed in the original post feel that their work is threatened by the actions of the current administration and have thus taken action. This is being done for our love of Discovery, plain and simple.
- Term two.
The point of the second term is to make the admin team aware that additional demands may be made by the development team depending on what we find. Much as they are unable of knowing what those terms will be, we're unable to make them without knowing the reasons behind their decision.
I hope that clarifies things for you. I'll keep this thread updated (including the original post with more names as long as they come in) and address people's concerns.
