Sure.  Nobody wins a debate like that automatically.  In this case I agree with yourself and Mark, and I'm just saying why.  If my arguments (or yours or Mark's) fail to persuade then they go nowhere.  As for me, I'm wrong more often than I'm right.  Like that last thing -- I got my brain twisted into a pretzel and it took Mark to straighten me out privately.  (I was actually going to apologize to the list but didn't want to waste even more keystrokes.) > > For anything to happen, somebody has to do the work.

Yeah, it's the ultimate worker's paradise -- if someone thinks something is worth doing it might just get done.  Still, when a default could be considered arbitrary, one might inquire of the masses which they'd prefer.  And I think you and Mark are correct on that point. > Compare what Bart has done to my posting an opinion on this thread. > One is work, and thus has impact, the other isn't and remains > inconsequential.

For anything to happen, somebody has to do the work. There is no point
in voting if the vote has no consequences: it's not an obligation for
anybody to do the work, nor does any work require an approval from
voters.
Yeah, it's the ultimate worker's paradise -- if someone thinks something is worth doing it might just get done.  Still, when a default could be considered arbitrary, one might inquire of the masses which they'd prefer.  And I think you and Mark are correct on that point.
Compare what Bart has done to my posting an opinion on this thread.
One is work, and thus has impact, the other isn't and remains
inconsequential.
Unless the devs take your point, and implement it.  Talk precedes work and good talk makes for good work.
