In reply to Cynthia Freyer.

I hope that all discussions we have here are a good use of our time. Otherwise, what are we all doing?

Not every idea is going to make the cut. Sometimes, it's the collection of ideas and discussions that leads us to the places we need to go. We might be talking about an editors registry here that never lands in WordPress. Over time and over various discussions, the community builds up an even better idea that does make it in.

We have to have some level of belief that all these roads lead to the same place -- a future where WordPress is even better than it is now. And, part of that is having discussions such as these.

As for the belief that Matt is only concerned with ROI for investors, I simply have not found that to be the case over the years. I'm asking that we veer away from that line of discussion and that we focus on the topic of the article. We're getting a bit off track now.
