Just curious, when do you think an issue discussed here has not been
able to be resolved? I think the developers have been pretty good at
coming up with a consensus about most decisions. I'm intrested to hear
when you don't think this has occurred.

Unstructured discussion is the only way things are going to happen in
free software, where most things are done in people's free time for fun
;-) This has worked pretty well so far.
