One of the problems with democracy is that people pretty much get what they want. If there was enough support for devrel to actually execute the current policies (like preventing developers from calling people names on this list), it would happen. However it seems to me that not many people would back something like that up, and it doesn't seem to happen. I rather have the current process with all its problems than one single ruler deciding stuff, even if he decides good - or like a total moron, you just never know with kings. The king is dead, long live the council! cheers, Wernfried -- Wernfried Haas (amne) - amne at gentoo dot org Gentoo Forums: http://forums.gentoo.org IRC: #gentoo-forums on freenode - email: forum-mods at gentoo dot org
