I can turn that 180 degree around and argue that we are currently too narrow 
minded to get new people in and are not doing great. Hey look all the awesome 
work with Plasma 5 and Wayland. We are doing desktop, desktop, desktop. Have a 
new mobile shell. And where are the devs? Where are the people following in 
that pretty clear direction?

So apparently having the direction seems not to work. People don't follow. So 
maybe we are too narrow? Lose the people who are actually out there and do hip 
stuff?

Cheers
