Do you not appreciate the concept of "individual initiative"? Progress
is made by individual efforts. Of course, individuals make mistakes.
So we need to uphold a standard of "mistake mystique" which requires
individual developers to clean up their mistakes and the community to
help them (NOT criticism).
I do not believe that full committee approval is needed for Debian to
progress.
Of course, it would be foolish for an individual to embark on major
changes without consultation of the vast expertise in debian-devel.
