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.
