I do. Every day : "There is a small but finite chance..." I can weigh the odds and make a choice, as negative consequences of not getting out of bed have much higher probability. So I risk my toe. Doesn't take higher math for that one... > If you overanalyze it, capitalism can't work. Nor can democracy. Nor can > open source.

So the solution isn't that. Nor is it punting when faced with an issue. We have the ability to affect change on this thing I believe is a problem. (One answer is "It's not a problem" I suppose...) The only answers I hear are "Things are fine" or "Tomorrow..." or "That's prevented by the rules". I know it's hypothetical, and has been ruled to be a waste of bandwidth, but what about the "log4j crew" vs "logkit crew" in the the "everyone gets to vote irrespective of contribution" model?
