The problem with many in the conversation is an implicit assumption that people are wanting that by default. There could be multiple ways to manage risk.. its a matter of finding out if a method is a good one, a bad one, can be improved, or can be thrown away. So some people would like the quality of updates to go up, some people would like to have what they consider un-needed bureaucracy go away, and there may be ways to do both... but first people have to sit down and listen to each other versus throwing emails back and forth about how horrible someone else is. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
