If anything, this thread shows that there has to be more 
communication between the developers. It's detrimental, when 
discontent builds up behind the scenes only to erupt suddenly 
over a minor issue.

There are two things at loggerheads here: a) the call for strong 
leadership and b) the desire to make decisions based on open 
discussions within the community.

It's certainly not easy to find the right balance, which is why 
better communication is of utmost importance. The odd email might 
help to get people out of their bikesheds to discuss the color of 
the door.
