bakkot: should I interpret silence as a lack of significant further qualms on my Annex B PR? not trying to rush anybody, just don't want editors to have complaints to voice at presentation time, hehe

*Reminder: The agenda deadline for the May plenary is in 3 days time!

https://github.com/tc39/agendas/blob/main/2025/05.md

There is 11 hours of spare time, so now is the time to discuss matters that have remained undiscussed for too long. Seize the moment to pitch that proposal you previously shied away from due to lack of meeting time.

As of today I am no longer employed by Microsoft and cannot serve as a delegate in that capacity, nor continue to champion my current set of proposals. I had hoped to recommend Explicit Resource Management for Stage 4 this meeting, but it seems I will be unable to do so unless granted invited expert status, or until such time as I find myself employed by another ECMA member organization. If you need to reach me for any reason, please feel free to send me a DM on Matrix and I can send you my personal email.

Once again all the business-school-brained nincompoops in the C-suite are copying each other, since Google's "Voluntary Exit Program" (+ firings to make up the diff for the desired amount of exits) is also kicking off this month.

I shall refrain from sharing my full opinions here, as I would prefer they not show up in deposition later.
