And besides, calling something a "dictatorship" is again confusing the development of a programming language with running a government. I still fail to see the connection between the two. Because maybe you don't read too much (outside programming), you can easily find the term being used on open source. i.e: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/dictators_free_and_open_source_software And it's not new, there are old articles like from 2004: http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/stories/2004-08-17/linus-torvalds-benevolent-dictatorship (And BTW, I do not speak for this community either. What I express here are just my own opinions... You don't need to draw for me that you're an user as much I am and if you're writing something of course it's your opinion. I'm out for now, I'll don't reply anymore.

But I've saw something like this with features to be added on the language, like for example 300+ discussion thread with similar trend of being interposed by the "heads". In this case, this is not something critical by any means. But what I'm seeing here is the lack of vote for example, someone say Walter is against and that remains. So this is not the way a "Community" should be driven.

But so far Walter has been adamant about keeping it the way it is. I don't want to start a war, but this isn't community? I mean aren't we trying to make things better, because the way you said it seems like a dictatorship.

What happens if a technical feature is vetoed by someone is charge even if it has merit? And you're comparing Apples vs Oranges with the rest of your answer. Even when you talk about Linux (Org) and Linus, currently the Linux Foundation has a board members to approve or not new features or changes, and finally after that it goes to Linus, and overall after passed by the board it's almost approved by Linus too. And by the way let this talk about dictatorship go away, because I think It will do more harm than anything else.
