Max,
My main objection is the appearance of one of the least attractive
features of the Debian development model. The abusive gang attack of
a small subset of developers, invoking the authority of the group, on
another when in actually they speak for no one but themselves. This
often is accompanied by the rest of the developer community remaining
silent because "oh, well those guys are just like that". It is a very
destructive force.

ps And yes it is often accompanied by statements about how the offender
is unable to work as part of a team when only the subgroup is making
that judgement for the whole group.
