You haven't been around Linux long enough, apparantly, if you think this
is a good idea in the first place. Any process that is democratic and
open is bound to have warts and outbursts like this. It shouldn't color
the good or take away from the overall outcome and what benefits it
offers. If it does, then maybe you just chose the wrong way to present
the Linux community.
