Hi, Daniel Pocock: > If veto is dead, what would the FTP masters do when somebody decides to > upload something before checking it is 100% free? > That's a different sort of veto. That's what they do, and they've got a mandate to do exactly that.
The veto we're talking about here is more along the lines of * DD A has an idea * DD B…Y think it's OK * DD Z think it's complete bulls**t and states "I veto this" * therefore the idea is not adopted Ostensibly, this would encourage consensus because, well, we take into account not only the stated reasons for Z's veto but also all the other semi-rational stuff that comes with Being Human, and talk about it until we all arrive at a conclusion we all can live with. In reality, this will not work. One major reason for this is that the evolution of Being Human proceeds in _slightly_ longer timeframes than the emergence of e-mail and IRC communication. For confirmation, look at any flame war where people write things they would (hopefully) never say to the recipient's face. :-/ -- -- Matthias Urlichs
