A proposal to freeze the Gemini specification

[Jonathan McHugh]

Hi Almaember,

I suffer from wicked IBS (IBS can be like drowning in a desert - my longterm partner still doesnt get how helpless the condition can make you) and through systematic and institutional bullying burnout which cast a very long shadow.

As a consequence I know that its possible to be offline/inactive for hours/days/weeks/months/years and then *BOOM* you are back on again and back to yourself.

Infact, Ive been in what could be a 'wilderness years' that was pretty much masked through raising x2 children.
At a personal level, the considerate aspects of Gemini encouraged me out of my own hole (anybody trying to build up a fingerprint of me prior to ~April 2021 will have a very hard time) - Gemini even secured me a research grant through NLNet. So personally I will be cutting Solderpunk a lot of slack and I will be eternally greatful for SP's impactfulness.

Being absent is okay, disappearing then returning claiming to be dictator is.

That's like if the descendant of an old royal family returned to a country that has been a republic for a long time, and trying to get control again.
