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. :-(
