Please read the following by no means as a personal attack.

Much of what you have written in the post above sounds defeatist 
to me.

Why try, we never gone make it to Mars?
But if we try, we might aim for Mars and make it to the Moon.

I should have added a leadership section to my post,
but at heart I'm an engineer at those things are difficult for me.

I would say though that the role of leadership in this instance is
to push for transformation, to set the long term vision, even and 
maybe
especially, if it is met with strong disagreement by parts of the 
community.
I rather would see people being annoyed by safe being the default 
and
forced GC usage, than see nobody on the forum, because nobody 
cares anymore.

The defeatist in me thinks, if D doesn't transform it will slowly 
but surely die
a quiet death.

"Change or go bust"

The optimist in me would say, that if people aren't angry with 
you for your decisions you haven't tried hard enough to do the 
right thing.
