In that particular case, the "heading" was still "editorial changes",
and given the public cries that the results (not the voting results)
gave, he was not alone in that misconception. Therefore I don't think
it's fair to call him lazy. If you've missed that there was a
discussion what removing or adding the word "software" in a sentence
means (a sentence that talks, as you perceive, about Free Software,
anyway), it's just normal that you don't understand the implications.

I don't think it's true. It has been pointed out that some of the
consequences have already been raised during the discussion, but were
overheard. And that's all Adrian and Marc were talking about.
