Neither have we been dictatorial. Announcing a new major (x.y+1.z)
release in the middle of some of the largest conferences (knowing that
many core devs won't follow the list) and for a couple of weeks later
was not the best thing to do. To commit something that did not get any
consensus and then force us to go out with a release is bad.
