I don't think this is true: It's true that some people don't trust 
OpenStack governance, not that the governance is broken.  The bylaws 
have been discussed for months, the governance model is based on the 
processes and principles that have brought OpenStack where it is today. 
We can't stop every time to address  theoretical concerns expressed by 
people that fundamentally don't trust us (and they don't have to).

Like all products out there: nobody is perfect.

you've been criticised for your questionable choice of words not for 
the content of your criticism.

While you probably ended up in somebody's killfile, your contributions 
are still appreciated by many because you *do* real things with 
OpenStack (differently from others that just like to *talk* about 
OpenStack).

Let's stick to making a great product and have fun meanwhile: this is 
an exciting time. OpenStack Foundation is being born, well funded, 
supported by a wide spectrum of companies and lots of people. The 
future is bright.
