This, in my opinion, is the crux of the matter. Most of us apparently are not sufficiently convinced that there actually is a problem. Until the problem is explained with clarity, the rest of the proposal is useless. > "Obviously you don't understand the issue, because if you did you'd support > it!" I concur that speaking for myself, I don't understand the issue. And it looks like many others don't either. So if anyone wants to promote this GLEP, their job is clear: make people understand what the issue is here, and convince them it is actually an issue. (Examples, scenarios usually work well, indeed a lot better than calling people names.) > And maybe we can now spend the same amount of > council-time (it has been eating time for over a year!) to get important > things done ... I want to call on the Council to reject this GLEP in its current form, as the problem has been insufficiently clarified. We should not waste more time on it.
