Geez, folks, take a break; the heat in this thread is not helpful.

Then come back and work on specific issues in a more productive manner, 
without all the pomp and fluffery.


Personally, I'd like to see more engagement and especially *education* 
flowing in *both* directions[1] - along with an expectation that this is 
a process that will take some time.

Both time in the technical sense, but also time in the community sense. 
  There are a lot of individuals here with a long history of 
contributions.  It takes education and time first to ensure that 
everyone is actually aware of the basics before you can really have a 
cogent discussion.

[1] That means several PPMC members actually engaging in the admin 
forums with the long-time contributors there, as well as more forum 
people introducing themselves on this list.

Preferably in a friendly manner.
