That's part of it. But at least some people also also would like 
to change the fact that in the end, the decision is made only by 
2 people, especially if the proposal is made by one of these 2 
people. The reason is that it just is very difficult to make an 
objective decision about your own proposal and only having to 
convince one person is a lot easier than having to convince 2. 
People feel that DIP1028 would probably not have been accepted if 
we had a stricter process in that regard.
