I disagree. I think that it’s OK for the people in that thread and people like the ones that are in that thread to have a sway over this project. They shouldn’t have more sway than other people or organizations that use Nix, but it’s OK if they have some sway. The people in that thread and people like them potentially have knowledge and expertise that could help make the Nix ecosystem better. They should be allowed to have some sway over the project so that the project can benefit from the knowledge and expertise that they might have.
I disagree. The comments in that thread do not require gravitas. What requires gravitas is the actual wars that are currently being fought.
