I don't agree. I believe we need to have commitment in what we talk, suggest and write. A project must meet and deliver its goals. Then, of course, in rare circumstances, something might not be delivered on time, but that would be just an exception. What we can't do is getting do meeting in Belgium, move people around from many countries around the world, agreed on the production module and now say "we'll see if it happens...." or "this is free software world and things might not happen". Is just not serious. Same with the homepage.... quite a few people worked on design, made proposals, etc... and nothing happened yet, even though most of us wanted to update it. Things get washed away but discussions about templates / vim / Sphinx and other curiosities.... Don't get me wrong. This is a great project and that's why a lot of us are here, contributing and supporting it, but we need to deliver the goals, otherwise it will become chaotic and unpredictable.
