No it isn't. Because a third person may change the DIP according 
to feedback and then the maintainers can decide it they like the 
DIP the new way or not. I think this is a huge improvement.

Even there having a third person deeply involved is huge 
improvement. Maybe not ideal, but the best we can get. Let's try 
it before claiming that it's not worth it.
