Geez, folks, take a break; the heat in this thread is not helpful.
Then come back and work on specific issues in a more productive manner,
without all the pomp and fluffery.
Personally, I'd like to see more engagement and especially *education*
flowing in *both* directions[1] - along with an expectation that this is
a process that will take some time.
Both time in the technical sense, but also time in the community sense.
There are a lot of individuals here with a long history of
contributions. It takes education and time first to ensure that
everyone is actually aware of the basics before you can really have a
cogent discussion.

[1] That means several PPMC members actually engaging in the admin
forums with the long-time contributors there, as well as more forum
people introducing themselves on this list.
Preferably in a friendly manner.
