Just as Benson I'm writing this as somebody who mentored a whole bunch of podlings: early per-project bylawas are a sure sign of trouble in my book. Its the same issue as the community that runs a vote for every little thing imaginable. Both tend to create minorities and really get in the way of true consensus long term. Thanks, Roman.
