Hi David, Although you have changed the subject to "Resolving standoffs" your email reads like an attempt to force a resolution - in your favour - of one *particular* standoff. It seems to be more of a protest than an attempt to elicit discussion.
I am both a lurker and not capable of understanding the disagreement between you and Han Wen, so I can't offer an opinion on it. And obviously take my view with a grain of salt, but is it not typical for this development community that, when there is some kind of irreconcilable disagreement, that the proposal just dies? I don't know if it's frequent or not, but I saw it happen with many discussions that arose after the recent in-person meet (they died in standoffs). It seems to be the norm. Is it only a problem now that it is holding up something you are advocating? Kevin
