I cannot remember which of your founding fathers stated that democracy 
is crap - which is why you don't have a democracy but a republic (well, 
whatever it is called) :-) .

You will never get consensus in a "community" (ever read the Mars 
Trilology? :-) ).

The best you can do is to have people voting with their feet - which is 
what I did with another distro.

And if what I think is now happening with Ubuntu......"these boots were 
made for walking"......
