In technical things I support two or more levels. There's much to learn for 
little community packagers as myself as there is in any field for the 
newcommers.
As you describe it, there will be a political division in oldtimers with the 
power to vote and newcommers without it as well. And this I can't support. 
This sounds too much like a group of oldtimers hanging on to their power (even 
if it is not, and I really do believe in you trying to be as democratic as 
possible).

Please don't initiate any kind of caste-system, to be as open as possible we 
do need a hirarchie as flat as possible.
