You mentioned that it will be years before it happens. I realize |
| 21 |
that this borders on the political, but if nobody objects *NOW*, in a |
| 22 |
couple of years it'll happen. And the developers will say "but nobody |
| 23 |
objected". You're right that the process takes time. It's precisely |
| 24 |
because of that that unhappy users need to make their feelings known |
| 25 |
now before it's too late. |
