So, then I don't know it any more. There seems to arise a complete new rule here. I think any improvement of implementation should be acceptable always, in a hack or in other code as well.
We need to avoid situations where a Hack is proposed, and the three weeks of work are spent on getting it in line with everyone's wishes.
The solution is very simple:
Post the code, asking for comments. If comments are forthcoming (if teher are any, they will in a few days), change teh implementation is needed. Finally ask for a vote.
This is not a 'project'. A project is approved by the MMC and has a projectleader and maintainer. It deals with a concept and not one piece of code.
MMBase is OS and as such there needs to be some consensus regarding new code. Discussing code beforehand gives people the chance on input without confusing the heck out of people during the vote.
