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.
