Community,
I have attempted to clarify what has always been in effect.
The machine maintainers have some level of veto for what goes
into their machine port. This allows some amount of control over
hardware support and ABI/API additions and removals.
The key issue is to balance the project goals and the needs of
the users of the particular machine. To do that effectively the
machine maintainers have to have some level of veto to add or
remove things to the machine they know and understand best.
