Actually, I did talk to Dustin too after Marc's application in June.
He thinks there's an anti-Canonical biased member of the DMB. I told
him seeing as this was the first deferral I'd even seen since joining
the DMB*, I haven't seen any other evidence of that, but if he's got
some...talk to the TB or CC.  I don't know if he did or not.

That allegation of anti-Canonical bias is why I made [1] and
highlighted the Canonical employees. If there's an anti-Canonical
bias, I still don't see it, what with 20% of non-Canonical applicants
being rejected and only 11% of Canonical applicants being rejected.

* other than the one where someone applied for PPU for packages that
weren't in the repo and we told them to do it in the other order
