Sergey, elementary has been moving in the direction of more openness and more transparency since it's inception. We're still not perfect, but we are getting better all the time. Most decisions used to be made by the council, but now most decisions are made in the contributor meeting. We will definitely learn from this experience, and try even harder to include the whole community on important decisions. elementary has never been a democracy, but we will work ever harder to make it an open and inviting community. I think we can accomplish so much more together than we can apart, and I hope you decide to stay with us despite the occasional misunderstanding. I hope that you'll decide to be a part of the solution instead of just quitting. If everyone in elementary who has the knowledge and motivation to help us improve leaves, then how will we ever improve? Anyway, these are my thoughts.
