You mean Brion has monopoly over configuration decision? I didn't know that and I find that very disappointing.

It seems to me (please correct me if I'm wrong) that Brion has failed to provide adequate explanation with regards to the perceived problems with the feature. It seems that several times, Magnus Manske (the author of the feature) has posted to wikitech-l asking why the feature isn't being enabled; Brion would reply stating a few "problems" which Magnus quite convincingly demonstrates are either fixed by now, or have never actually been a problem. Brion then never replies to those refutations again and just leaves everyone puzzled.
but it's understandably frustrating to those of us who REALLY REALLY WANT IT IN.
The situation as I have outlined it above is not only frustrating, but actually somewhat angering. If he can't turn the feature on or explain what's wrong with it, then maybe he shouldn't be "in charge" or at least not the only one.
