At least some of this discussion has been interesting, but I still think the system is less broken than some people make out.
I agree. Also, it is easier to fix from within than by taking pot-shots from the sidelines. Mind, I'm rather disquieted by what has happened to Tony Sidaway of late, and I'm not sure how I feel about the way the project can apparently no longer accommodate SPUI, although I suspect that may be just a fit of pique at losing a long-running and very heated argument.
I suppose it shows peer pressure works.
Unfortunately, it's also another step towards blandness. If this project becomes boring, interesting people won't contribute.
There is a general distrust of dynamism, and this is a cultural flaw here which I am happy to do my bit to neutralise.
