In reply to John Teague.

So you think it is ok for a couple of people to change the "leadership" because they don't like what Matt is doing?

A tiny fraction of the WP Community is vocal about things, go to WordCamps and even comment here.

Look at many of the comments here on WPTavern, it's full of devs who don't like change and they wine when change happens and go on how the whole community will abandon WP because of the change. Not just Gutenberg.

Look at many of the WP Communities around North America and some in Europe, it's always what is easier for the organizers of the monthly meetups, and even WordCamps who are organized by those organizers, it's always their friends and a lot of those organizers rarely accept different points of views?

A Huge chunk of the WP Community so called voice is really the voice of a tiny % of it's members. That tiny % drowns out the majority.

Rachel and Morten have absolutely no right to "take the reins" of WordPress, two people?

If those two (and rest of WP Community organizers) actually cared, they would ask what do YOU want, to the community. Not just to the few developers who don't want to change and learn something new and all they care is to make money from a free software (WordPress).

Are Rachel and Morten going to do the same thing most WordCamp and WordPress monthly meetups do? Dictating/Deciding the agenda of the "governance meeting" on January or will they ask the community what they want?
