(the page is now a 404)

  The core team has the following remit:
   * Managing the core Redis code and documentation
   * Managing new Redis releases
   * Maintaining a high-level technical direction/roadmap
   * Providing a fast response, including fixes/patches, to address security vulnerabilities and other major issues
   * Project governance decisions and changes
   * Coordination of Redis core with the rest of the Redis ecosystem
   * Managing the membership of the core team

It seems clear to me (speaking only for myself) that the core team didn't have a say in project governance decisions and changes here. :-(
