This is an appalling breakdown in simple logic. Please allow
me to demonstrate: A parent has the best interest of their children
at heart, but that does not mean when the child says I want to only
eat ice cream and candy, the parent jumps at this wish expressed by
the child.
In any case, even if you do feel compelled to work for the
user, instead of keeping their best interest at heart (to the
detriment of the project, in my opinion), it is highly presumptuous
on your part to project that expectation on to me.

Ultimately, however, only the opinion of the person
responsible for the work being done really counts. This is how
Debian has always worked, and I am unwilling to change a working
model based a new broom trying to sweep clean.
