I disagree, but only very slightly.  I never expected everybody to be
happy before a GLEP is voted upon, but a GLEP should address areas of
controversy and either incorporate the new ideas or explain why the
authors do not wish to do so.  In this way the folks voting on the GLEP
are able to make a more informed decision.  See GLEP 40 for an example.
