I never said the development teams should use it. I realized technical decisions can't be made by community voting. But -
1. Sometimes a team is interested in seeing what the community/other teams think 2. Some decisions are not technical, like you said the marketing team can find loomio useful So if the marketing team tries loomio, it's just fine, I don't restrict to any specific team, and don't expect any specific team to use or not use it. Do know relevant teams which have mailing lists I can post to?
