the thing is, you have on the one side -core that wants him gone, and,
from what I can see, non-core that doesn't want him gone ... considering
how much of a beauraucracy this has become, maybe there should be some
sort of referundum(sp?) on issues like this?  Where the userbase has some
sort of a say?

It just seems that there are some pretty critical issues that are being
handled, and its hurting both sides of the project ... the userbase by the
loss of some serious players, and the core themselves by the flames thye
are getting for the decisions ... :(
