I can't say I've seen any actual posts like that in the LWN discussions of Lennart's proposals. That's a pretty transparent straw-man used to justify your feelings on the matter but not representative of reality.

What I have seen is some people who think we should read and discuss the proposal, the pros and cons, in a serious and adult manner and others who think the proposal should be dismissed out of hand, either because it's not "traditional" or out of animosity to anything proposed by Lennart. Which camp are you in?
