The Council asked Alex to take a look with the aim to potentially mitigate the conflict. I have actually responded to Alex plan and haven't heard anything back. Alex hasn't been empowered to approve a patch that removes the Exchange option where the server offers it exclusively. As Ben said, even users what have Owl installed won't be able to set up an account now. Please don't burden Alex with a decision that even seven councillors couldn't resolve so far. I'm not sure how Alex review would help right now. Ben pointed out some technical issues as the original author of the code. I don't assume you're going to land the code in case Alex gave you an r+, or is that the plan?
