I think the source of the problem is that Walter's DIPs require
the community to prove that Walter's proposal is so bad that he
needs to reject it. Anyone else's proposal has to prove that
it's worthy of being added to the language. There's a big
perceived gap between those two. As I've said many times, it's
odd for someone to judge his own DIPs, and as someone that is
an academic administrator and runs a high-profile journal, I
can say this type of practice is not the norm in those areas
because it doesn't lead to good decisions.
I could have rejected it, and nearly did.
