Like it or not, getting rulings from core is the way this project resolves controversial technical points when group consensus fails. Having to do it a lot is not a positive thing: it means you aren't working with the rest of us. In fact, you don't seem to even attempt to gather a consensus before making changes like this, and now you're rejecting the project's fallback decision structure as well. You're acting unilaterally and brushing aside all objections. This is really not how things can go; if you don't change your attitude, you're going to end up getting kicked off the project. That would be unnecessary and unfortunate, but you aren't offering much in the way of alternatives. -- David A. Holland dholl...@netbsd.org
