Let's be realistic here... If Gavin's commit access are compromised in any way, it should be investigated. They can always give him access again.. if they think he pose no risk to Bitcoin. We have the
wealth of millions of people stored in Bitcoin... Why put that at risk, if there are any reason why his access can be used to harm Bitcoin in any way? Be over cautious and check the facts and then give
him access again, if needs be. We revoke access to admins every day, if we think they are compromised... Why should Bitcoin be any different? This should not be made into any sinister plot, but
rather attributed to a possible over reaction from the Core Dev's in reaction to a possible threat.
