I would like to know the reason for the belated rejection of WP:ATT by Jimbo. Mainly I would like to understand why did he not engage during the last five months during which the proposal was debated, or made any comments in this mailing list when it was raised here.
The proposal was first proposed on October 2006 and was upgraded to policy on February 17.
