Whenever a participant has made a mistake, we expect them to take responsibility for it. If someone
has been harmed or offended, it is our responsibility to listen carefully and respectfully, and do
our best to right the wrong.

        important to us to keep Guava as easy to use and understand as we can. That means boiling
        features down to compact but powerful abstractions, and controlling feature bloat carefully.


        Guava's main yardstick for evaluating proposed features can be summed up as [utility times
        ubiquity](https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/PhilosophyExplained#utility-times-ubiquity).

after the birds!  Why, she'll eat a little bird as soon as look
at it!'

  This speech caused a remarkable sensation among the party.
Some of the birds hurried off at once:  one old Magpie began
wrapping itself up very carefully, remarking, `I really must be
getting home; the night-air doesn't suit my throat!' and a Canary
called out in a trembling voice to its children, `Come away, my
dears!  It's high time you were all in bed!'  On various pretexts
