It is a huge deal in as much as we don't use any sort of formal voting process here and for better or worse, rely on consensus. If there is anyone who has countering views and we don't as a group come up with some formal statement about how things should be done, then it makes it very hard for the likes of Robert and myself who need to implement the thing. So, we need to deal with the different views people have and balance them up and make a decision. Until I feel there is some sort of official decision one way or another, I can't release any code.
