Which, to my mind, is exactly what is happening here. We are pushing our editor team to move quickly to address the bug backlog, and to involve the Working Group in the process. The current proposed draft changes to the Decision Policy will require a 72 hour comment period before changes are applied, at this point it appears likely that we will increase that to 7 days. But we are not ready to propose that just yet as we are considering proposing other changes. The precise number represents a balance point where we enable participation without unduly slowing down progress. I will note in passing that git helps enable both to occur. And yes, by moving quickly, mistakes will be made. Thanks for catching two so far, and thanks to Silvia for working civilly and constructively with Steve. I'll close by expressing my hope that we can entirely -- or at least effectively -- eliminate the revert policy. The social norm at the Apache Software Foundation is that changes that are committed that are later objected to are quickly reverted by the person who committed the change and discussion commences on a proposed replacement. Often cases, this ends up being a misundertanding and the original commit is reintroduced, and that is entirely fine. Hopefully the new editor team that we have appointed will consider enacting a similar policy. > regards > SteveF - Sam Ruby
