Or, put another way, "the onyl requirement is that they want to work=20
together.".  Taken to the logical extreme (which basically has been done=20
on Avalon), people should feel free to ignore your input as you don't=20
appear willing to take the time and effort it takes to build consensus.

Just because someone is acting as a PITA at the moment is not a reason=20
to ignore their input.

Avalon is a community.  You put your name forward to be on the PMC.=20
That's why I asked you if you were willing to accept every member of the=20
Avalon PMC as a peer.
