I hope for the sake of the stability of the ecosystem he doesn't apologise again. It's one thing to just change, and another to make a public gesture to seek out approval on weak terms. As soon as it becomes about other people forgiving him, they will just pile on because it elevates them. Good on him for recognizing what got him here isn't the tool to get him and the kernel where he needs to go. But that should be it. Anything more invites a coup and hyper politicized governance of what is now a core internet technology. I hope he draws a line under this and moves forward instead of being co-opted by a committee. "I did that, and now I don't anymore, here is what we're doing next," is far better than, "I am afraid of some consequences of things I did in the past and I want your permission to continue." For a leader, the latter is death.
