Thanks to you and Martin for noticing this. Accepted as "nevertheless
receives." Tim, when you add this to the agenda, please add the word
"receives" after "nevertheless" in the draft I sent earlier today. I'll
check some time in advance of the actual vote to make sure this happens,
so that if not we can still fix it in time and vote on the correct
wording.

Both ways read acceptably to me, but putting it at the end feels like it
implies some linkage I didn't intend between the choice of X.org as the
surviving project and the motivation for the merger. I'd rather keep
that sentence as is.

meeting.
