DPL may not delegate to him/herself. Constitution s5.1.1 para 2: "The Leader may define an area of ongoing responsibility or a specific decision and hand it over to another Developer or to the Technical Committee." ^^^^^^^ Does anything contradict that? Are people posting without looking? Even if the DPL can change policy as a result of other powers (urgency or whatever, but I don't see why), it should still be done in a way "consistent with the consensus of the opinions of the Developers" and "avoid overemphasizing their own point of view". Yeah, right(!)
