Could you expand on why the CDDL is more asymmetrical than the MPL?
As someone intending to base a license on the CDDL because it appeared
to clean up a lot of MPL problems, I'd be interested to know your
view on what substantive asymmetry it introduced.

I am already aware of the "License Steward is the Initial Developer
in most current cases" argument.
