+1 I concur with Marcel, Karl, and Richard. I think Carsten is expressing what are various opinions; not necessarily concrete ASF rules. Niclas gave a great synopsis as to how the various opinions arose.
Although I have a profound respect for Stefano and the Cocooners I think it's a potentially dangerous idea. Every community is different and has to decide for itself. The Cocoon folks went with it and it was OK but there can be problems. The PMC might be young but it's got what it takes and does not need to clone the ways of the Cocoon PMC. So if this is what they decide then lets lay it to rest without presuring them.
