In this initiative, I want us to take a different approach. We will strip 
    

away non-essential decisions from the user experience, at the cost of 
flexibility in the final product. For me, that's not a bug, it's a feature, 
though I accept that others feel differently. I'd like to build a community 
that is aligned with that goal - here on the Ayatana list.

Is this then an invitation for those who do not accept this premise to

There will be plenty of useful conversations we can have even if we have different perspectives, it's up to you to decide if you'd like to stay. But for my purposes, it works better to work closely with a community that does agree on values such as this. Imagine the endless threads it would generate if we disagreed on this key point.

You know, classically, this was a GNOME vs KDE value, but I don't believe it is that any more. I've seen KDE folks increasingly aligned with this value too.
