18 I agree with the "council is not holier than thou idea",
19 although you misunderstood my initial though, please see

26 Is not this happening now?

28 Most of the ideas / decisions that affect the *daily* developers life is
29 sourced from comrel or qa teams after community collaboration.
30  Surely, council is still voting for things like gleps or the general
31 tree licensing,
32 but I do not see the most of them involved in the creation or changes
33 process.
34 I can exhibit few more complex examples if you want me to.
