I hear you. But with all due respect, you cannot have it both ways:
beg me to stay in charge, and then push me to give up one of the few
firm ideas I have about where Emacs should go and how. It isn't fair.
I arrived at those ideas by carefully watching Emacs development for
many years. What kind of maintainer will I be if I cannot base my
judgment and decisions on a few principal ideas I have about Emacs
development? What could replace those ideas to be the base for
decisions I need to make almost every day?
