[Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@xxxxxxxxx>]

As long as the only members of the lead development team have voting
rights and the project leader has veto power than I am fine with this.
I haven't had to use veto power yet but I am not naive enough to believe
that there are no circumstances which I wouldn't veto a majority vote.

Cheers,

Wayne
