If he had good technical reasons for not having the descriptions embedded, there would have been rapid consensus and DES would have removed them. Poul is attempting to manipulate core's legendary slothfulness to legitmise his actions; you're welcome to decide for yourself how reprehensible you feel this is. What we are most in need of is a mechanism whereby we can convince developers to continue to operate within the bounds of the currently-functional consensus system.
