I didn't ask for anything and I said I don't think WineHQ is even able to change this process.
Misconstruing the words, intent, and plain meaning expressed by people who offer constructive criticism of WineHQ is a consistent pattern of those defending the status quo (as is a ton of ad hominem noise).
I commented on Vitaly's comments as they we're wildly hypocritical. And I offered perspective on the roots of the issue that Robert raised. Which reminds me that I should also have pointed out to Vitaly that if he thinks this issue is such a trolling non-issue then why did it rank a session @ Wineconf, taking up the valuable face-to-face time of the hardest core of the hard core Wine developers.
I also offered my expectation, optimistic as ever, that OSS will lead to innovation that fills unmet needs.
