That need is still there, Kim.

Just in case anyone hasn't noticed, Jimbo kept his power to give
himself whatever powers he wants.

So, instead of giving up "virtually all" of his founder powers, he
actually still has total access to all of them.

This looks, to my eyes, to be one of those "subtle miscommunications"
where Jimbo implies one thing is true, we all buy it, and then it
turns out we all just misunderstood him.

For example, that new policy the board was about to announce any
second-- only to see that the "new policy" is that the board is not
starting any new policies.

Or, the time Jimbo somehow got us all to think that this was a legal
issue, before the foundation lawyers  set us straight.

Or the time Jimbo claimed to have lost "virtually all of his powers"
except 'view delete', and it turned out he actually still had access
to all of his powers.   Oh wait-- already mentioned that one.
