I whole-heartedly agree. It appeared to me that the FSF did a very good job of listening closely to the input of others and managing a remarkably wide range of opinions. It didn't seem like any class of Free Software users was excluded from the process.
I got the feeling that those involved at the core of the process pushed themselves to be open to change and to be ready to recognize the value of others' ideas, even when they conflicted with the current draft. There must be some contributors who felt the FSF sided against them in particular matters, but I felt the FSF maintained the ideals of Free Software while incorporating input from a range of contributors across the pragmatic and philosophical spectrum of the movement.
And thanks to Eben for providing such clear explanations and well-spoken inspiration!
