I am sorry for pointing the obvious, "or you are changing, you become one of
us". ;-)
I was mainly complaining about the slow responses from the core
developers, not about the patch inspection process itself. Now, things
are getting much better in this aspect.
Regarding conservativeness, I do feel that we should do more in the
user (and developer) friendliness end. The idea that a normal user
will read tutorial and follow the instructions is plainly wrong. There
are also some discrimination against windows system so
windows-specific changes are harder to be accepted (e.g. space in
path, scons, .C=>,cpp conversion, msvc/pch). Scons still managed to
get in though. :-)
