Yes I am. I really think direct-democracy is just a bad idea. Historically, we've made good decisions by having the people most involved in the topic make the call.
When we're talking about a decision around our developer story, It's best to consult with our developers. When we're talking about a decisions around our design story, it's best to consult with our designers. With our Web story, our web team. Our translations, our (admittedly new) translation team. Requiring that everyone have a say in everything is not only going to lead to un-informed decisions, but it's going to slow our process way down.
