There were two long threads of people trying to convince each other.  It 
was so clearly split that everyone now is specifically trying to avoid 
having that discussion again.

So in an instance like this, why you should get to override a clear 
disagreement?  When did a purely organizational position become an 
executive one?

It's been said that many KDE developers would fork KDE if an executive 
layer like the KDE Foundation were placed on top of KDE, making decisions 
about release.  So why should an unelected RC get to make decisions we 
woudln't trust an elected board to make?
