Any change has costs, all decisions are the result of compromises. I'm
sure you all know this, it's a fact of life. We can't change that fact
but we can change how we get to an agreement of what compromise is
acceptable.

  How many people regret the decision to start cinder?

  Where were you when the decision was taken?

  What prevented you to speak up then?

I'd appreciate your answers to these questions and your suggestions on
how to modify the decision-making process (if you think it's broken).

thanks,
