Hi Andy, I've no idea why Brian didn't follow the rules. I expect he probably didn't know about them.
I'm worn out from many years trying to discuss improvements but getting the equivalent of a parliamentary filibuster. I personally think best way to solve this is to allow local communities (those that are well established) to have greater power to decide themselves. With a loose set of governing _guidelines_ (not prescriptive rules). This came across too negatively yesterday, for which I'm sorry. Let's step back, allow for this data to be completed (else it will be in a worse case) and find a sensible way forward for the guidelines when we have time to think with a fresh mind.

We have our import guidelines which have been long-discussed and battle-tested over many years. They aren't perfect. You could have chosen to improve the guidelines, or improve the process. You could have sought alternatives to mailing lists or wiki pages or whatever you object to, and use such alternatives when agreement has been reached. However, ignoring the whole process and running rough-shod over things you dislike shows the complete contempt that you hold for the rest of our community. I care little about these imports but I am deeply saddened by the attitude. Thanks, Andy
