No, it's not irrelevant.  It means precisely that Debian is in danger of 
becoming an unresponsive, closed group which does not admit new people.  
If this continues for, say, 2 more years, I would expect a new Project 
to be formed, replicating what Debian is doing, but admitting new 
people.  I'd probably be right there starting it.

That would be a stupid waste of effort, so I hope it turns out to be 
unnecessary.
