This and this precisely ... there is a blind assumption, and far too many |
| 6 |
records of such, that your opinion carries a disproportionate weight. |

Unfortunately for you, this is simply because the other voices are much |
| 8 |
quieter, and don't get the 'time of day' and validation that yours do, but |
| 9 |
this is not lost on the wider "community". Why should one individual, |
| 10 |
whether supported or not, get 'special treatment' over many others, simply |
| 11 |
because their voice is loudest, whilst other 'loud voices' are simply |
| 12 |
shunned because "they're not Me"... |

I'm not putting this very well into English, and the loss in translation is |
| 15 |
probably great .. but I think that perhaps a more widely consulted opinion |
| 16 |
might be appreciated by the 'wider community' than the same one/two/three |
| 17 |
people who constantly have their names in email lists, commit logs and |
| 18 |
meeting minutes. Give Someone Else a Try. What's the worst that can |
| 19 |
[really] happen??? And if that [actually] happens, how much of it can still |
| 20 |
be reverted?? What's the real risk here .. that we've made a straw man or |
| 21 |
we might actually solved a [real] problem?? Be daring, be risky, it's this |
| 22 |
that has enabled organisations like Google and Facebook to even exist, do |
| 23 |
we want to consign Gentoo to the history books for being dogmatic and |
| 24 |
inflexible? This is the 21st century, not the 19th ... |
