Conversely, if the leadership (hi) feels bound to uphold recent decisions made
by predecessors, this also makes the position less attractive, because one
should be free to enact the changes one sees as better for Emacs.

I respect that the decision was made by many, so I don't ever approach
throwing it out lightly; but I reserve the right to get ornery if something
strikes me as truly terrible for our future.
