Judging by Tony Sidaway's Talk page, the wonks are
winning.
[[WP:PRO]]. Quote from it since the worst process wonks are curiously
unable to read. Go through policies rewriting them for humans.
I come out against excessive process quite a lot. Process is actually
important, though - else people haven't a *goddamn clue* which way is
up, and our bureaucracy is confusing enough to newbies. So it is
vitally important that process be shaped so that it is fit for mere
humans.
