Another high-order bit that I got from the discussion is that they get
surprised when they say something and nobody starts running around
pushing for work to be done. The point here is that we don't start
work when someone tells us to, we start it when there is enough
community interest to take it on, and if they want us to do stuff,
they need to go around and build that interest, just like they have to
build consensus to support a given proposal they bring...
