IMO the source of the problem is that Walter and Andrei have 
freedom to make any language changes they want, without even 
consulting the community, while everyone else has to put a lot of 
time into a formal proposal with nearly a 100% chance that it 
will be denied because of [insert your favorite reason]. The 
design of the language is done in something of a corporate 
fashion, and that leads to frustrated posts.*
