You have that backwards. You are demanding the board enact something
precisely because the overwhelming majority of the people who *do the
actual work* won't put up with it.

However, you are convinced that filtering is the key to far greater
usefulness to, and acceptance by, the public.

This suggests that what you should do is start a fork, filtered
according to your vision.

If you are correct that this is what the public really wants, your
project will be a huge success. You could be the next Jimmy Wales!
