I suspect this proves the fervor in the community kicked up by Matt’s actions isn’t going to just blow over. The point that resonates with me is that the BDFL model is clearly inferior to other conceivable alternatives.

Echoing what a friend just told me: it would be great if there was a way for other people to sign this call and really show where the community at large wants to go next.

The problem many people have is fear of retaliation if they are found to have signed this. Given what happened to get here with WPE, I can’t say they’re wrong.

Yes, I totally get it. Folks are fearing for their livelihoods. I moved my sites from an A8c owned server because I feared retaliation for being a dissident, even though I am a total nobody of course – definitely in the "Sorry, who are you?" category for him, but still, wouldn't put it past him.
