I am not inclined to weigh in on the discussion since I think it’s poisoned already (from both sides) but what really triggers me is claiming someone who disagrees with you to be ‘on the wrong side of history’. You have an opinion, and are entitled to it: you’re no deity however.

Voting privileges are earned by demonstrating merit on a project. That is the project management committee aka the PMC. Discussion with the PMC on this change started in early April with a vote in early May by the PMC. To Marc, your Ad hominem attacks are not needed and I will ignore messages that use them. To you and others spouting off, be reminded that this is a publicly archived mailing list and you will be on the wrong side of history. Consider that when you post.

Why is only a small group deciding what is being done? Such a vote, hardly can classify as open source, community nor democratic.
