So Jimbo's "planning to spend essentially the entire day tomorrow (Tuesday, India Standard Time) studying the election results and making my preliminary assessments"? That's an awful lot of time to invest if he's just going to approve the community's decision and appoint the top seven candidates. Let's hope he's not feeling bold.
And he's not coming back with an answer till Saturday.
In the meantime, wonks all over the site are getting agitated about which statistical variation ensures their preferred candidate takes that last spot on the committee. By Saturday, statistical anomalies will become so twisted that Kweber will still be in with a chance.
In an ideal world, Jimbo would turn round on Saturday and reappoint Fred Bauder and Jayjg to the committee, and tell you all where to stick it. Something like that is still a distant possibility, and I hope he pulls an outrageous similar Jimbonic stunt that causes the community to oust him once and for all.
