We do not want a process/system where one single person controls something important.
- first it does not scale. - second it is not good for the ecosystem feeling. - third we got burnt in the past (remember 3.9 fonts problems - 3.9 was shipped with bug because we could not touched graphics and we needed to integrate other fixes) and we do not want that again. - fourth we are reading to share and we know how to do it but not at any price.
It's a bit funny to read that from a "benevolent dictator".
I'm happy that this makes you smile. Apparently you did not study enough history... if we can call that history. Then you probably do not read not well enough this list because we always discuss and I often do not have hard thoughts. I'm trying to learn from people and more act as a catalyst. Our process is not close we just do a simple quality control. Now you can do whatever you want with your software, I will not argue on that. Now I prefer to talk with you about software and not things that are too emotional, because I learn more from it. Stef
