[rpd] Opposing the last call made on the review policy

Everyone is free to contribute, but we’d like to know who you are so we can put your remarks in context and also to have some assurance that multiple identities aren’t a bunch of sock puppets commenting on behalf of a single author.

I hope you can understand. No intention (at least on my part) of discounting your remarks. I don’t even discount remarks from those who oppose my position, let alone those supporting it, but I do like to know who I am debating or agreeing with.

The community should have been informed to stay completely out of the development process since a few number of us have decided to monopolize and impose certain policies with or without the acceptance of the majority.
