I'm not sure "older is wiser" necessarily applies, though. Sometimes,
it's the opposite-the "old guard" gets stuck in a past that no longer
exists, and it takes some "fresh blood" to come along and make some
changes. I'm not saying that -is- happening here, but I'm not sure why
a lot of people seem to think we'll necessarily be well-served by
doing things the way it was done when the project was a tenth its
size. Sometimes that may be, but in a lot of cases, changes may be
required. You can run a town of 1,000 or perhaps even 10,000 in a
pretty informal, ad-hoc manner. The same is not true of a city of
1,000,000.
Crazy talk. Listen to the crusty old contributors! Ignore the newbies!
Grrr. In my day...
