I don't care so much about the founders, I value their opinion, even if it is not a veto. I care more about consensus. I care about people ignoring other's arguments because they stick to their misunderstandings. I also care about respect. And I think the people we are talking about gave a lot of suggestions and use cases to find a compromise. > Their opinion is of less value than > the founders' just for historical reasons?

Less skilled : probably not Less clever : oh no Less vision : not sure. The problem is that we all have a different one. So, it is not more or less vision, it is which is the right one ?
