You should be at least as worried about the damage to contributor
morale on a bad decision as about the damage to the language.
Editions do good job limiting the latter but not the former. If you
accept that you can see why this attitude is unnerving.
Rejecting a DIP can be one of those bad decisions.
Good point. It's easier to accept a DIP with popular pressure behind
when there's a way to back off if necessary.
