It may not be a democracy, but it's also not a monarchy. :-)

If recent core events have taught us anything at all, it's that nobody
in core escapes being accountable to the developers at large and if
the consensus opinion supports a given change then that change should
be made.  Anyone backing out such a change on his own recognizance
will find his own commit privileges somewhat emperiled, and that goes
for *anyone* in committers.

Bruce only gets "50x the vote" on occasion by generally being the only
one to comment at all.  People should not take that as indicative of
any special powers and, last I checked, Bruce was quite vulnerable to
Kryptonite. :-)
