That's not the right way to look at it.  I'm using 2.6 heavily these  
days, does that mean I get to decide what goes in it or not?  No.   
Everyone here, whether they are using 2.6 or not should weigh in, with  
of course one BDFL to rule them all.

Same goes for 3.0.  This is a community effort and I feel strongly  
that we should work toward reaching consensus (that seems to be an  
American theme these days).  Make your case, we'll listen to the pros  
and cons, decide as a community and then move on.
