"without comment" - even though there were a lot of unaddressed 
problems :/

Great! So what's the entire point of this process?
To give people the illusion of progress and participation?

Why we can't we have a technical board where the community can 
vote in experts and potentially companies could even buy a seat 
for $$$ which would mean a lot more for them than the current 
very vague sponsorship options.
I'm aware that Walter doesn't like the idea of giving up 
ownership, but it makes all the other people question why they 
should still bother with this process and not simply fork and 
move to an open, transparent development...
