I just said it's not *important*, for the actual freedom of software users (or developers). In purely practical terms, it does have some advantages -- but major drawbacks, too. I'm not at all convinced that "democratic" projects are more effective or less frustrating in general -- in my experience it tends to be the opposite. I probably wouldn't choose one project over another because it's more "democratic". (I would usually choose a community-driven one over a vendor-driven one... But that's an entirely different matter.) -antrik-
