The proposed patch was agreed during session at LPC 2024

As is "he who pays the piper calls the tune" or, in FLOSS terms, "he who puts in the work makes the rules".

I'm not saying all of them are, but many calls for "democracy" in FLOSS projects are "we want to control the committee that tells you where to direct your efforts". That usually is a dead flop as far as volunteers are concerned. And as we've seen - with Firefox amongst others - all too often a foundation intended to support a project has great difficulty paying developers, for whatever reason ...

Cheers,
