Why have you two unilaterally decided that Mans can speak for all of
us?  I find this extremely offensive, especially in light of the fact
that both of you have said that you're willing to move away from a
dictator model.  He is just one developer, and if we made a majority
vote that he should not have root, he will lose root.  Similarly, if
we make a majority vote that he should keep root, he will keep root.
You should talk to those who would vote, not he who would be voted
upon.
