The point is really that if people "downstream" *care* their voice 
becomes stronger 'upstream'.

If a number of people downstream say "hey, yes this is a great idea" it 
is no longer one single person trying to knock at the upstream door. Now 
it is an important downstream user (like, a part of, or, the entire 
Ubuntu thing) that tries to make a voice be heard, and this kinda 
changes things.

If downstream pulls its hands off of the idea, upstream is not really 
going to be interested in it either. So that is a very non-functional 
way to approach things, it is like destroying the bridges you have 
before you even cross them.

Regards.
