In reply to David.

well, you are right.
but he is the one who have all the data.
(and some others like matt, etc)

I understand your point Jeff,
but I really wish that matt and others responsible (maybe) don't hide behind WP as organisation or as open source cms.
because I feel WP as cms/org is lead by several core team and org/company behind it. and these people make decisions about WP direction/where to go.
(lets admit that some have bigger voice than others)

it's not uncommon in open source. e.g.
chrome and android dev is directed by google.
(both open source)
