DPL may not delegate to him/herself. Constitution s5.1.1 para 2:
"The Leader may define an area of ongoing responsibility or a specific
decision and hand it over to another Developer or to the Technical
Committee." ^^^^^^^
Does anything contradict that? Are people posting without looking?
Even if the DPL can change policy as a result of other powers (urgency
or whatever, but I don't see why), it should still be done in a way
"consistent with the consensus of the opinions of the Developers" and
"avoid overemphasizing their own point of view". Yeah, right(!)
Hope that explains,
