I have this feeling these mails are running towards "my way or the
highway", and I don't really like that. Unless proven otherwise, the
work people attending to the sprint are doing mostly belongs to the
workspace. If we ARE part of Plasma, Workspace, whatever, we also take
part in defining its vision/direction/whatever. Hence this kind of
statements are quite contradictory from my POV.

I think nobody wants to see anyone leave here, so please don't even
try to play this game, it doesn't benefit anyone and doesn't help in
keeping the discussion constructive. Yet, I think that everyone thinks
that his opinion should be valued as one, and not just subdued from
the "directors". Maybe that's the first reason why this sprint could
be useful.
