Yes I am. I really think direct-democracy is just a bad idea. Historically,
we've made good decisions by having the people most involved in the topic
make the call.

When we're talking about a decision around our developer story, It's best
to consult with our developers.

When we're talking about a decisions around our design story, it's best to
consult with our designers.

With our Web story, our web team.

Our translations, our (admittedly new) translation team.

Requiring that everyone have a say in everything is not only going to lead
to un-informed decisions, but it's going to slow our process way down.
