My suggestion is about re-considerating, reversing a kind of dogmatic pro-elisp policy - as I felt it.Perhaps you felt more dogmatism than actually exists. As I understand it, the attitude is more to prefer Elisp, but to use C when Elisp is not technically feasible or when performance would be too slow in Elisp.
Some inertia is involved; when something is first written in one language and thoroughly debugged, there is a natural and understandable reluctance to change it to the other. So the issue typically comes up more often when considering a new feature or a major change, and the merits of Elisp vs C can be discussed on a change-by-change basis. If you want this process to move forward I suggest proposing a specific change along these lines; I think you'll find less dogmatism than the above comment would suggest.
