If a project a malicious dictator for a leader, then the project can |
| 32 |
elect a new leader. If that fails, in the absolute worse case scenario, |
| 33 |
the developers that agree with the current situation are free to leave |
| 34 |
and start their own project. Meta structure allows them to do this |
| 35 |
without impediment, especially since contradictory and competing |
| 36 |
projects are allowed. In a more favorable outcome, the malicious |
| 37 |
dictator does something to warrant external intervention from either |
| 38 |
Council or ComRel, depending on the situation. It's not great in any |
| 39 |
case, but it isn't completely dire. |
