I lose my share of arguments --- in fact, in the twenty minutes since
your posting I already notice Bruce committing a patch I had objected to
;-).
Our process is not "democratic" in the sense of any random subscriber to
the mailing lists having the same vote as a core member --- and I'll bet
Boost doesn't run things that way either. What we have is pretty
informal but I think it effectively gives more weight to the opinions of
those more involved in the project; which seems a good way to operate.
But there isn't anyone here who has an absolute veto, nor contrarily
anyone who can force things in unilaterally over strong objections.
