Not sure how to continue this thread now, I'll be on the road the entire week so I don't want to continue thinking about it either. On the one hand I understand there's already enough work for committers, but on the other hand, what I can think originates from what I can see and I can't ignore that.
All in all, if many of the issues we face can be thought as mainly due to the lack of people working on it, the questions is: if there're enough people willing to help, are we ready?
