If they're more focused communities -- ones that are attempting to
solve clear problems (such as "make the networking code go faster") --
then they can steer projects in that area with greater effectiveness.

Right now, we're without direction.

Once again, that's not at all the issue any of us were trying to
address.  I agree that it's a real problem.  It's just not *this*
problem.

Moreover, neither joining communities into one giant hairball nor
cutting them into tiny islands solves that problem.  It has nothing to
do with the problem.  The problem _you_ are talking about is a
communications problem, and we need to figure out better ways to
communicate.

That can go on with or without figuring out what the communities
should be doing.
