The title of the thread includes the word "democratization".. Plenty of free software projects operate on a BDFL principle and do not bother claiming to be democratic. But that also implies a bus factor of one. Such orgs are not stable in the long run. If Michael is serious about democratizing the project then he should actually do so. > Why do you believe the opinion of people should matter > irregardless of the quality and merit of their contribution to the > project? I never said such a thing. What I am saying is that you can't have it both ways. Michael's fear of "takeover" is just the age-old critique of democracy going at least as far back as Socrates. If you want my actual opinion, I think that users should also have a say, not just developers. /Tomas _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
