I don't think we really have "whistle-blowers" because we are vibrant 
open community which is constantly engaged in honest self-assessment and 
internal dialog, in an atmosphere where respectful dissent and diversity 
of viewpoints is not just tolerated but actively encouraged.

And yes, this is never perfect, but I think we do a pretty good job of it.
