No, no, no, no and no! This is _exactly_ the kind of process/governance
fetish that OpenSolaris developed, and it must be firmly and emphatically
rejected! We do _not_ need to "elect projects" -- we need to experiment
with many different kinds of ideas _by_ _implementing_ _them_. That is,
without the burden of elections and governing boards and "sponsored
projects" and all of this other crypto-fascist nonsense. Please: lead
with _implementation_, not rhetoric. If there's a mistake here, it's the
fact that illumian was pre-announced here and opened for bike shedding
instead of just _made_ _available_. So if you want to announce something,
do it with a public source repository and a download -- that's all the
process we need.
